Does shared memory support work on cyg64?

When I run the Xwin server, it says shared memory isn't available.

I thought running the cygserver took care of this?

Does this not work on cyg64?

Besides the Xwin server, When I try initialize pulseaudio, it
tries to use shared memory as well, but fails to load (no reason
why -- just fails)... tried setting --log-level==debug, but
couldn't find the output anywhere...(nothing in var/log...)


I have it running as system:
      UID     PID    PPID  TTY        STIME COMMAND
...
   SYSTEM    8996    7516 ?        01:54:27 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon
Bliss\la    1184    7632 cons1    02:53:19 /usr/bin/ps
Bliss\la    3004       1 cons2    01:44:31 /usr/bin/bash
   SYSTEM    7516       1 ?        01:54:27 /usr/bin/cygrunsrv
Bliss\la    4316       1 ?        01:44:48 /prog64/vim/gvim

  -- but my Xstartup log claims not to see it:
[197140.538] MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support
[197140.538] XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to 
lack of shared memory support in the kernel
