Hello Alexey,

first : Kernel = what kind of drivers are you using ? What
say your /var/log/messages ?
second : X11 = what '.so' driver is used ?
third : try to turn on Vesa mode (don't forget to load it at boot time),
use a maximum screen depth and size, and work with many pictures,
quit X11 and see what he say.

Your error is : your graphic card try to use a segment that is
not allowed for it (perhaps it try to use more memory than authorised,
at a different address, and so one ...).
Shared memory is used by the system to send data to video memory.
Your graphic card read it permanently.
This is a kind of buffer. This one must be allowed before turning
to graphic mode or changing your graphic driver.

voili voilo,

val.
