Re: how to enable shared memory?
shared memory is indeed enabled with net start cygserver ! Starting "kuickshow" graphics viewer in a little bit newer version 0.8.13 instead of 0.8.6 works! The uncommented arguments enable shared memory, in WinXP "Services" there ist a cygserver serice started with net start cygserver. When I stop it in WinXP Services the kuickshow picture become black again, thats the proof. Unfortunately kuickshow in version 0.8.6 (Suse 9.2) doesn't work with cygwin share memory, maybe the older X-System of Suse 9.2 (xorg-6.8.1 ) ist the fault, I don't understand much of that. Perhaps somebody here has a further idea. Thx to all for all who participated, thx for help!

Re: how to enable shared memory?
I found some stuff on my own: searching "missing cygrunsrv" with google leaded me to a not installed package cygrunsrv. I started setup.exe again, selected the Admin -> cygrunsrv and installed the package. Now cygserver-config runs, asked me whether to start cygserver as service. I don't know why, I want to enabel shared memory only. The skript telled me to have generated /etc/cygserver.conf. I lookes at it: lots of options concerning shared mem. But I don't understand .. I uncommented some shared and shm stuff: kern.srv.sharedmem yes kern.ipc.shmmaxpgs 8192 kern.ipc.shmmni 192 kern.ipc.shmseg 128 After I stared cygwin again with startx -- -multiwindow , I typed "xhost +" so that kuickshow from a linux-Server can be displayed. But kuickshow png and jpg rest black. The script cygserver-config proposed me to start cygserver as service. The cygserver within den cygserver as service?? I don't understand. But I did so: net start cygserver or cygrunsrv -S cygserver was proposed, I took net start cygserver within a cygwin terminal. I got success messages. What is now better than before? I started kuickshow from linux server again. But png and jpg are still displayed black. Is shared memory enabled now? How can I detect settings? What have I to do to enabled shared memory? thx!
