I've recently installed XFree86-2.1 on FreeBSD-1.1.5.1, everything works
great, except I can't get apps on other machines to display on my screen.
I have done xhost +, as well as set the DISPLAY variable.

The app runs on the other machine, but never gets displayed
What is the problem ?

I've seen that startx says "MIT-SHM disabled due to lack of kernel
support", could this be the problem ?

Any help appreciated
