Subject: Re: Shared memory request buffer patch to 0.88pre4

: The attached patch is against 0.88pre4 and implements a shared memory
: segment for sending draw-commands to the Nano-X server.  Only a single
: flush message is sent over the socket once the request buffer fills up,
: or a flush is needed to assure the server will respond to a command that
: returns data.

Very cool!  I will add this patch as well as the Nano-X client/server
protocol fix patch tonight.  I want to get a stable release with the
new fonts and protocol fixes that Opera can use for their port before
the prerelease.

I will add a config option for this though, so that Microwindows can still
build on systems without shared memory.

Regards,

Greg
