Sorry - I meant look in that extension's protocol spec or headers for the
minor opcode - those don't change at runtime, unlike the major opcodes.

So in /usr/include/X11/extensions/XShm.h you'ld see the list of minor opcodes
is:
#define X_ShmQueryVersion               0
#define X_ShmAttach                     1
#define X_ShmDetach                     2
#define X_ShmPutImage                   3
#define X_ShmGetImage                   4
#define X_ShmCreatePixmap               5

which means your error is from trying to attach to a shared memory pixmap.
