I recently ftp'd and installed XFree86 2.1.1 and xview32, and can't get
it to run. It's giving me a fatal server error:
>MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support

>FontPath is set to '/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,

Anyone have a clue what's up? This is running on FreeBSD 1.1.5.1. I
installed (as per the install notes) all of the files on
xfree86.cdrom.com.
