Does FreeBSD support the SYSVSHM system calls?  I am currently running
386bsd-0.1 + patchkit-0.2.4 with some patches to get the shared memory
working.  Unfortunately, I also had to back out of a couple of patches
to make it work (can't remember which ones but I can find out).

I would like to upgrade to FreeBSD but I really need the shared memory
patches for the MIT-SHM X extension.  It is impossible to do
high-performance 3D graphics without it (does anyone want to buy a
realtime 3d rendering system for 386bsd or DOS or Windoze?).
