>Description:

	graphics/libflash, and the tools it's used in, such as
	graphics/flashplayer and www/moz-flash are useless on 8-bit or
	lesser displays (or maybe only those missing MIT-SHM?).

	Attempting to play, with swfplayer, the test file included in
	the libflash distribution, or attempting to visit the test link
	on the libflash site (http://www.swift-tools.com/Flash/) with
	mozilla-0.9.6 and the moz-flash plugin causes a crash after
	printing the following (this example from my NCD HMX terminal):

$ swfplayer ScreenSaver.swf                                        
Xlib:  extension "MIT-SHM" missing on display "xtremely.weird.com:0.0".
Xlib:  extension "MIT-SHM" missing on display "xtremely.weird.com:0.0".
Unsupported depth
Memory fault 

$ mozilla -P woods
open dsp: Device not configured
Xlib:  extension "MIT-SHM" missing on display "xtremely.weird.com:0.0".
Xlib:  extension "MIT-SHM" missing on display "xtremely.weird.com:0.0".
Unsupported depth
Memory fault

	On a monochrome display the error comes from X11 and there's no
	core dump:

$ swfplayer ScreenSaver.swf                                                                             
X Error of failed request:  BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
  Major opcode of failed request:  129 (MIT-SHM)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  1 (X_ShmAttach)
  Serial number of failed request:  20
  Current serial number in output stream:  21

>Fix:

	Unfrotunately there's little documentation on the
	swift-tools.com site, or in the distribution, about what's
	supposed to be supported (outside of saying "linux").

	Other than someone writing a patch to improve the X11 support in
	libflash I guess what's best for pkgsrc would be to simply
	include a warning in a MESSAGE file stating that libflash is
	currently useless on 8-bit and lesser displays (or those missing
	MIT-SHM support, if instead that's what the problem really is).
