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).
