Hi Lately I've been seeing huge memory consumption by the X-server and I've started to suspect some unexpected feature in E17... I'm building E17 from source, almost daily using easy17.sh script.
I write to this list because I guess people here are more capable of saying if it is so or not. I consider myself uncapable of that. I'm running E17 both at home and at work (and on my Freerunner :-) ). At work, with ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT card ("RV630 [Radeon HD 2600XT]") with dual DVI-connected displays, using the AMD/ATI fglrx driver (latest). At home I have ATI Radeon HD3300 Integrated graphics on Asus M3A78-T mb using the opensource ATI driver. The symptom of memory consumption is identical to both configurations and shows up after 1-2 days of running. Restarting enlightenment does not release any memory in X-server, instead I need to logout of X to resolve that. Once X managed to own all memory, including virtmem (swap) so all I could do was to recycle the PC (push the on/off button thatis). Below you see the output of 'top', 'xrestop' and 'xdpyinfo' with various info. Please let me know if I can provide more info. // top - showing memory usage when X has been running for 2 days. top - 09:17:47 up 9 days, 18:48, 13 users, load average: 0.17, 0.20, 0.11 Tasks: 154 total, 1 running, 152 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie Cpu(s): 2.0%us, 2.8%sy, 8.8%ni, 86.5%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 2060356k total, 1634216k used, 426140k free, 153080k buffers Swap: 1108476k total, 88612k used, 1019864k free, 607680k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 31639 root 20 0 932m 581m 13m S 8 28.9 49:34.87 Xorg 31676 isiz 20 0 31516 18m 8484 S 0 0.9 11:25.53 enlightenment ... // xrestop xrestop - Display: :0.0 Monitoring 17 clients.

Isn't the Pxm mem value a bit large ? (I'm using E17 default background image). I found a link to a thread describing similar symptoms where they also suggest it's E17 problem... http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13662 // xdpyinfo shows name of display: :0.0 version number: 11.0 vendor string: The X.Org Foundation vendor release number: 10600000 X.Org version: 1.6.0 maximum request size: 16777212 bytes motion buffer size: 256 bitmap unit, bit order, padding: 32, LSBFirst, 32 image byte order: LSBFirst number of supported pixmap formats: 7 supported pixmap formats: depth 1, bits_per_pixel 1, scanline_pad 32 depth 4, bits_per_pixel 8, scanline_pad 32 depth 8, bits_per_pixel 8, scanline_pad 32 depth 15, bits_per_pixel 16, scanline_pad 32 depth 16, bits_per_pixel 16, scanline_pad 32 depth 24, bits_per_pixel 32, scanline_pad 32 depth 32, bits_per_pixel 32, scanline_pad 32 keycode range: minimum 8, maximum 255 focus: window 0x1600004, revert to PointerRoot number of extensions: 35 AMDXVOPL ATIFGLEXTENSION ATIFGLRXDRI ATITVOUT BIG-REQUESTS Composite DAMAGE DOUBLE-BUFFER DPMS DRI2 GLX Generic Event Extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER MIT-SHM RANDR RECORD RENDER SECURITY SGI-GLX SHAPE SYNC X-Resource XC-MISC XFIXES XFree86-DGA XFree86-DRI XFree86-VidModeExtension XINERAMA XINERAMA XInputExtension XKEYBOARD XTEST XVideo XVideo-MotionCompensation glesx default screen number: 0 number of screens: 1 screen #0: dimensions: 3200x1200 pixels (821x311 millimeters) resolution: 99x98 dots per inch depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32 root window id: 0x8c depth of root window: 24 planes number of colormaps: minimum 1, maximum 1 default colormap: 0x20 default number of colormap cells: 256 preallocated pixels: black 0, white 16777215 options: backing-store NO, save-unders NO largest cursor: 64x64 current input event mask: 0x5e0033 KeyPressMask KeyReleaseMask EnterWindowMask LeaveWindowMask StructureNotifyMask ResizeRedirectMask SubstructureNotifyMask SubstructureRedirectMask PropertyChangeMask number of visuals: 81 default visual id: 0x23 ... -- ex animo - Ingi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
