I think this is a more likely explanation. I use a non-OpenGL
screensave with KDE, and I let my sessions run for days or weeks at
a time successfully, only bringing them down when I want to boot a
new kernel or try a new version of KDE or something like that. I
have 1G of memory, but I only use a fraction of it. ---scott
Looks like it's time for a reboot and go non GL for a screensaver.
I'll post back in a couple of days
It's not just kde, I use window maker now ( I do have kde installed
thought) and have the same problem with GL. I use a nvidia card, btw and
the latest build of X with the appropriate drivers. when the X display
locks, I can ssh in from another box and kill the x session or start
another one, but the memory has gotten lost somewhere, so I end up
rebooting.
As a side note, I have been playing the beta of Neverwinter Nights,
which uses GL. After a session of a couple of hours or so, there will be
a HUGE amount of memory lost somewhere, and occasionally things
close on my desktop (gkrellm or gps) for no apparent reason. For now,
I just reboot when I am done.
