Hi Harold,
I just checked in changes to the MIT-SHM (xc/programs/Xserver/Xext/shm.c) and XFree86Bigfont (xc/programs/Xserver/Xext/xf86bigfont.c) extensions that disable SHM support when the Cygwin IPC daemon is not running. This allows IPC/SHM support to be enabled by default in Cygwin/XFree86.
I tried to define the functionality of an OS-specific SHM support check as best I could, which resulted in adding a new function called OsVendorShmCheck (). This new OsVendorShmCheck function is called from shm.c and xf86bigfont.c when DDXOSSHMCHECK is defined. This system was designed to work like DDXOSVERRORF and OsVendorVErrorF (), for example.
this is obviously the right way, I have seen the related patches for ...BSD, but doesn't know who to deal with. Thanks for this efforts.
There will be a new Server Test Series release sometime tomorrow that includes this new functionality.
I assume that the current xlib releases are linked without shm support ? Then the new features of the Xwin Test server will only be usable if at least the X11 and Xext libs are compiled with shm support.
