See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Using the MIT shared-memory extension (MIT-SHM) is a fine way to speed up manipulation and display of images. But be aware that XShmQueryExtension(dpy) returns only information on whether or not the server to which your program is connected is capable of supporting the shared-memory extension -- it doesn't confirm that your application is running on the same machine on which you are running that server. The client and server have to be on the same machine to be able to use shared memory. Current documentation is available via ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/R6untarred/xc/doc/specs/Xext/ .
