Hello everybody, I face a problem wich I would consider to be a Bug.
I have a Box wich has 2GB of RAM and downloads offen something via torrents. Like Gentoo-Beta2 DVD, OpenBSD torrents and co. I use rtorrent for this task. What's the issue? X gets terminated if I download something if I switch from X to console and try to switch back. X was started before I started downloading and there are absolutely no problems if I do not download anything. In case rtorrent runs I have like 1030k-12M free memory (out of 2GB). Error Message: -- Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server apps file failure BScreen::BScreen: managing screen 0 using visual 0x23, depth 24 Fatal server error: Couldn't bind memory for front buffer xterm: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server ":0.0" X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). xterm: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server ":0.0" xinit: connection to X server lost. -- Is this a behavior I should exspect? If I started X before any other task I assume it reserved all memory it needs. It's the first time I noticed this behavior but it is absolutely reproduceable. The affected Box is a IBM X61s but it should be reproduceable with any Box. Also I did notice some graphic bugs wich are software related. There's no Bug/Error Mesage but I could make a photo fromthe screen next time if somebody cares. If you do need any further informations please tell me and I'll provde anything I can. Thanks for any hint! :] Kind regards, Sebastian
