The point of XShmCreatePixmap was to create pixmaps that could be directly modified by the client (client can render directly into the pixmap memory with the CPU) as well as allowing the X-server to render into them. This requires both SHM and that the server be local. There is no non-SHM equivalent behavior. You either have to go with a normal Pixmap and disallow direct access by the client or move to rendering into an XImage and using XPutImage when you are done. The X-server would not be able to render into the XImage. People usually use XShmCreatePixmap when they want to mix some rendering operations that the X-server can't do with some that it can. You'll need to understand what your app required ShmPixmaps for in order to decide which implementation path to take and which features you'll need to reimplement or do without. An app that required XShmCreatePixmap not only wouldn't work without SHM, but wouldn't work when run from a remote machine even if the server did support SHM. Mark.
