Hi there
gmplayer is running under cygwin now, but still with lots of problemes, some
already mentioned here, like e.g. two display windows when using
gmplayer -vo directx.
I have yet another problem setting up the gui compile. When running gmplayer
after make install, i get this notice:

[ws] sorry, your system is not supported X shared memory extension.


I had a look at the cygwin packages to see if i have missed to install some
packages. But expect some fonds, the xwin-gl, xwinwm, the x font server
packages and some other non-xorg-stuff that i think is unimportant, i have
installed all packages from section X11.
google did not bring up anything usefull up to now, just that you can turn
the shared memory extension of when unsing gimp :(
I get this error message one two systems, one PIII with nVidia TNT Win98 and
another P4 with new ATI Radeon 9800? running WinXP SP1 (not sure about the
number of the card, though).
Anyone can give me a hint on this?

Stefan
