2.4.3-ac2 -- How do I determine if shm is being used?

I have mounted:

none on /var/shm type shm (rw)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)

Yet, running "x11perf -shmput10" gives me:

X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for
operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 146 (MIT-SHM)
Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_ShmPutImage)
Value in failed request: 0x1600001
Serial number of failed request: 35107
Current serial number in output stream: 35111

I'd like to check to make sure that shm is actually accessible
to my programs. Is there any easy way to do this?

I have already checked the values of:

/proc/sys/kernel/shmall = 2000000
/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax = 4096
/proc/sys/kernel/shmmni = 35000000

Thanks,
Miles
