Greetings all.  

I am trying to run xquake on my 2.2.5 system.  If I run it immediately upon
starting the machine and X, I have no problems.  But if I do stuff first (use
xfmail, netscape, etc) and then try it I get a:
Error: VID: Could not get any shared memory

VID_Shutdown

None of the other programs are running.  Even if I shutdown X and then restart,
I get the same error.

Is there any way to free the shared video memory (I am assuing its video,
since I have more than enough RAM)?  I am running XFree86 3.3.1 and an STB
Lightspeed 128 video card (ET6000 PCI).

Thanks again,

Patrick
