I don't get the same thing here... and I'm not using nvidia... the two may be related. One thing you could do is telinit to run level 3. Then do memusage startx as the user you want to be using X as. X will run as normal and stats on memory usage get output to the tty you started x from. James > > > ---- > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
