I am running version 4.3.0 of XFree86 and I have a problem with the Xserver removing shared memory partitions that belong to other processes when it starts. Apparently when I originally wrote my code which uses shared memory I unwisely choose to use shared memory keys in the range 1 - 200. I notice that the Xserver seems to create shm partitions with key values of 0 and 2 and most likely other values that I haven't yet gleaned. If I change the key value to some rather large number my problem goes away, i.e. my partition is not marked for deletion by the server. My question is: what ranges of shared memory key values are being used by the Xserver and friends ? I would like to change my code to avoid the problem now and in the future. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
