WEIRD.. | |ipcs seems to indicate shared memory IS allocated. |(i do have those lines in my kernel).. |tried fxtv -display..

Just to be sure, "fxtv -display :0" is the form that will cause it to try to use shared memory for better video performance. |Keep you posted if any other weirdities occur (like it stops working |just as suddenly).
