Thank You!

First I tried

xvattr  -a XV_PIPE -v 0

and in xorg.conf 
MonitorLayout (CRT+LFP, NONE)
# no clone option

Problem: LFP and Beamer with the same synchronisation => small parts of the 
screen-bottom missing


Solution:
no changes in xorg.conf (Monitor layout (CRT,LFP); Options clone)

xshm is working just fine!!

Bye
Bernd
