Since upgrading to the latest development kernel I have come across a
problem with my X setup.

I have compiled the tdfx module through the kernel configuration, and
have rebuilt the Glide_V3 source rpms, and the tdfx_dri-3.9.18.src.rpm.
The tdfx_drm-0.8.5.src.rpm won't compile under this new kernel, but I
don't think I would need it because the tdfx module is now included in
the kernel.

Basically the problem is this....when I try and run certain programs
they seem unable to create their own windows.
If I try and run XMame I get the error :

"failed to create MITSHM block"

If and try and run a Mesa test program like Gears the command just sits
there trying to do something, but the window is never created and I have
to ALT-C to stop the process.

I'm not sure whether this is because I haven't compiled something
correctly into the kernel (there is a lot of new stuff in there).

Anyone else seen this ?

Many thanks

Andrew
