from what i can tell, bug #186814 indicates that /proc, /sys, /dev, and /dev/shm are handled by baselayout and so were removed from the /etc/fstab section of the handbook. for the past month or two i've had problems running gmplayer from a user account. i get about 1 frame/5 seconds and tons of error messages like FGLTexMgr: open of shared memory object failed (Permission denied) __FGLTexMgrCreateObject: __FGLTexMgrSHMmalloc failed!!! fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrCreateObject failed!! FGLTexMgr: open of shared memory object failed (Permission denied) __FGLTexMgrCreateObject: __FGLTexMgrSHMmalloc failed!!! fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrCreateObject failed!! i came across bug #166378 and realized that my /dev/shm wasn't mounted and was only writable by root. after adding it back into fstab everything works again. should baselayout be handling this or is this possibly a configuration error? i did grep -R for RC_USE_FSTAB in /etc but don't have it set anywhere.

We added this to our svn repo a while back, so fixed.
