That means shmget failed. The kenel config you provided does show SYSVIPC enabled, however... You should run the "nv" driver that came with XFree86 to ensure that you can get the server started with working MIT-SHM support (ie. a benchmark like "x11perf -shmput500" succeeds). Not only do NVIDIA's drivers require SHM support, it is performance critical for other drivers as well.

hi,
i have a laptop, sony vaio pcg grt 785e. the distribution i use is gentoo 1.4 with kernel 2.4.20 with several bug-fixes. my problem is that i cant get glx extensions to run, when using nvidia-driver-4496. in my opinion, the problem is the message "Failed to obtain a shared memory identifier". How can i solve this?
thx already for help,
patrick
perhaps you didn't mount the shm vfs? usually something like this.
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 00
