function usedAnswers = PsychLinuxConfiguration(answers, dontshowad)
% PsychLinuxConfiguration([answers]) -- Optimize setup of Linux system.
%
% This script modifies system settings and configuration files
% to optimize a Linux system for use with Psychtoolbox.
%
% Currently it modifies files to allow to run Octave or Matlab
% as regular non-root user, ie. without need for root login or
% the "sudo" command. It does so by changing file permissions
% and resource usage limits to allow a regular user application
% to switch to realtime scheduling, lock its memory, and to
% access special purpose hardware like GPUs, Bits+, Datapixx and
% other research equipment.
%
% Realtime optimizations are achieved by extending the
% /etc/security/limits.conf file with entries that allow
% members of the Unix user group "psychtoolbox" to lock
% application memory into physical RAM, eliminating/minimizing
% interference from the VM subsystem, and to run with realtime
% priorities up to level 50. The group "psychtoolbox" is created
% if it does not already exist.
%
% If the target system has a /etc/security/limits.d/ directory,
% then a separate rule file is stored to that directory to
% achieve the change without messing around with the limits.conf
% file.
%
% root-less hardware access is achieved by copying a special
% psychtoolbox.rules file into the /etc/udev/rules.d/ directory.
% This udev rules file contains rules to auto-detect certain
% hardware at bootup or when the hw is hot-plugged and to
% reconfigure this hw or access permission for root-less access
% by Psychtoolbox, and for optimal performance for the kind
% of typical PTB use cases.
%
% The script also creates a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory for
% xorg.conf configuration files which are writable by members
% of the 'psychtoolbox' group to allow easy reconfiguration of
% the X11 display system for running experiment sessions.
%
% Additionally it configures the gpu's to allow for display color
% depths of more than 8 bpc. Furthermore, it configures a potentially
% installed gamemoded daemon to further optimize cpu and graphics
% performance for use with Psychtoolbox.
%
% The script calls into the shell via "sudo" to achieve this
% setup task, which itself needs admin privileges to modify
% system files etc. "sudo" will prompt the user for his admin
% password to complete the tasks.
%
% The script also checks if any special configuration is required
% to work around Linux specific OpenGL quirks of Matlab R2014b or
% later.
%
% History:
% 6.01.2012 mk Written.
% 16.04.2013 mk Add info about 'dialout' group for serial port access.
% 25.01.2015 mk Add Matlab R2014b OpenGL reconfiguration.
% 20.10.2015 mk Make sudo handling under Octave+GUI less confusing.
% 20.10.2015 mk Trigger auto-reload and coldplug of udev devices via udevadm.
% 25.10.2015 mk Remember y/n answers to allow quicker reexec of the command if
% reexecution is needed from octave-cli or as admin user.
% Add option to automatically add user to dialout and psychtoolbox
% Unix user groups, and to add other optional users as well.
% Allow upgrade of the 99-psychtoolbox.limits conf file as well.
% 04.11.2015 mk Support creation of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory owned by
% group 'psychtoolbox' with setgid flag set, and write permissions,
% to allow members of the 'psychtoolbox' user group to add/remove/
% modify xorg.conf files without need for admin permissions.
% 27.06.2016 mk Optionally install a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-psychtoolbox.conf
% file to prevent loading of certain kernel modules, e.g., the 'lp'
% module for control of parallel port line printers, which would prevent
% exclusive access to parallel ports for digital i/o.
% Also add users to the 'lp' group for parallel port access, and
% on ARM architecture (RaspberryPi) to the 'gpio' group for GPIO
% pin access.
% 04.09.2016 mk Optionally install a /etc/modprobe.d/amddeepcolor-psychtoolbox.conf
% file to switch radeon-kms / amdgpu-kms into deep color mode for
% driving suitable HDMI/DP > 8 bpc displays.
% 23.06.2019 mk Optionally install a /etc/gamemode.ini for an optionally installed
% FeralInteractive gamemode package, to switch supported gpu's into
% high-performance mode for Priority() > 0, and do possible other PTB
% specific optimizations beyond the default optims of the gamemode package.
