(I think SHM is default but you have select "Virtual memory filesystem support" under Filesystems/Pseudo fs) If you have that you shouldn't have to have any entry in fstab; the kernel automounts /dev/shm with 1777 permissions. I've read that having fstab mount /dev/shm after the kernel has mounted it might cause xruns. The fstab entry, I think, is only for 2.4 kernels. - Peder
