Subject:   Cleaning up wierd system messages to root

This could conceivably (that doesn't look right!) be an XFree86
question, but I don't think so.
When I bring FreeBSD up, I usually login as root on console 1, then as a
regular user on console 2 (<alt><F2>) and use the system there without
worrying about a global wipeout.  Also, just to monitor the efficiency
of the system, I usually run systat -vmstat as root.  Anyway,  after
using startx to use X-windows as a regular user, error messages
something like "/kernel: cmd XF86-SVGA --- tried to use non-present
SYSVSHM" show up on root's screen.  That blow's systat's whole screen
(ok, no biggie) but I'm enough of a perfectionist to want to know what's
wrong.  SYSVSHM refers to System V Shared Memory, I guess.  I think this
only happens with my reconfigured kernel, and I know of nothing that
I've omitted there.

Please give jme some suggestions where to look so I can clean my system
up.
