In /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.FreeBSD they write:
The XFree86 servers include support for the MIT-SHM extension. The
GENERIC kernel does not support this, so if you want to make use of
this, you will need a kernel configured with SYSV shared memory
support. To do this, add the following line to your kernel config
file:
options SYSVSHM # System V shared memory
options SYSVSEM # System V semaphores
options SYSVMSG # System V message
queues
You then have to recompile and install the kernel, read the FAQ on how to do
that. (I've never heard of an X server that NEEDS those extensions though,
better check XF86Config first, eh?)
