It would also be a good idea to search for other similar bugs (in XFree86 lists, cvs, etc and other distros etc) -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: This problem exists in the 4.3-22 and 4.3-23 drivers. Whenever I log into X w/ KDE or Gnome within a matter of hours (2 usually) X uses up enough of the memory to hang the system. Currently it's at 46% usage, wait it went up to 59.5% and a couple minutes before it was at 50-ish % as well. Apparently the increased isn't steady. Not that it matters. The end result is always the same. I get this sound from my computer indicating that something is accessing the hard drive (kswapd?) like crazy and seconds to a minute after I have an unusable desktop. Usage is at 68% now so I better make this quick. This is how I reproduce it: log in to kde or gnome open up a file manager open up mozilla, x-chat, mcc and gaim. Sit back and watch the numbers go up. I actually did watch last time and it seemed to me to happen quicker when mozilla was open. I have the cool looking cursors installed for X too, come to think of it I don't think I was having these problems w/ the plain cursors. I'll switch them and see what happens. BTW whenever i do ALt+sysrq+i to kill X (cause ctrl-blah doesn't respond) i get taken to a garbled terminal. nvidia ti-4200 256 mb sdram ~500 mb swap happens when I use nv drivers or nvidia drivers. Can't think of anything else to help in troubleshooting X usage was 58% a couple secs ago now it's 67.4% This took me about 5-8 minutes to write.
