I get a warning every time i start enlightenment telling me to enable mit-shm shared memory in my imlib config, but i have no idea how to do that. i know i have a file in /usr/bin called imlib-config, but there really isn't any help files associated with it (man or --help or -h). so, anyone know how i can enable shared memory? thanks.
 
Do you use any other WIndow managers? Do any other apps complain about this?

What distro are you using, what setup do you have? etc etc... we need more details...
 
I'm using Arch Linux
My window manager is enlightenment

here is the full warning:

Code:
Warning!

You seem to be running Enlightenment over a network Connection or on
an X Server that does not support Shared Memory, or you have disabled
MIT-SHM Shared memory in your Imlib configuration.  This means the
Enlightenment Pager will perform slowly and use more system resources
than it would when Shared Memory is available.

To improve performance please either enable MIT-SHM Shared Memory in
your Imlib config, if you disabled it, or disable Player snapshots.

That's pretty much all I have to go on. It has to do with the pager thing, and i could easily disable it im' sure, but i want to enable the shared memory in case any other progs need it, but just aren't saying so.
