Oh, sorry. I will get it correct on the Release Notes. Since I am not sure how to fix the commit comment, I will leave it alone and not risk making things worse. I should have at least added that the fix was for NetBSD since it did not seem to affect Fedora linux at all.

(P.S. my technical understanding leaves a lot to be desired!)

Applied both patches and tested with no problem encountered.
Will check into GIT tomorrow. Thank you.

I think commit message get my idea backwards:

WITHOUT fallback code I get only black screen on screencapture. It surely fast but not that I need ..

so added code ADDS fallback in case shm capture does not work (on NetBSD or in general).

So it hardly faster, more like working where it was failing before.

I think slightly better patch follow (apply on top of this one), it
does not disable shm screen capture for platform, but at runtime (with
fallback) if shmGetImage fails
