Add this option to your kernel 

>From the handbook handbook38.html

options SYSVSHM

       This option provides for System V shared memory. The most common
use of this is the XSHM extension in X
       Windows, which many graphics-intensive programs (such as the
movie player XAnim, and Linux DOOM) will
       automatically take advantage of for extra speed. If you use the X
Window System, you will definitely want to include
       this.
