Your kernel doesn't support the SYSVSHM option, so the Xserver
won't support the ``MIT-SHM'' server extension.
Nothing to worry much about, since only very few clients actually
`speak' MIT-SHM. If you care to add the support, add
options SYSVSHM
to your kernel config file, and rebuild the kernel.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
