Package: general Severity: normal
i'm very sorry to report a other/general bug but because i could not figure out which package is responible for the behavior i try this. my system slows down after some hours of activity (4-6). i use that system as desktop, using linux 2.6.16, xorg (dual screen), gnome, sawfish and severly tools (i.e. vim, firefox, gajim) mostly for development. since an upgrade (i think to the xorg system with seperated packages for drivers) i notice a slowdown of the whole system after some time. the load in top shows values of 2 and more without any program running (after closing firefox, vim, etc) while the system is 98% idle. no noticable memory is used (the system has 2GB ram), swap is mostly unused. opening a window takes seconds. switching focus shows visible drawing of the highlighted frame. after a x-restart the system is faster but only for a short time. all this looks to me like a memory leak. but where? system ram is not used. it looks it could be related to sawfish, xorg or linux itself (agp module?). i use dual screen only at work and i think (its just a feeling) that with only one screen the system stays fast longer. i tried google to figure out if someone else has this problem without any success... can you point me where to look for the bug or what to do? i'm neither a x11 nor a linux developer but a quit good c programmer - can you help me in tracking down what's going on? -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
