However, I note that agpgart (same size as yours) is Used by 0 (unused).

There must be some sort of access problem here (low security install). Where does this server come from and how do you tell if it is installed? I guess it must be installed or root would not be able to run xmms. Down to access again. What to check? Sorry to harp on about this but it is beginning to really annoy me. I have a full time job looking after my invalid wife and very little time to configure my PC. Even now she is shouting on me for attention. I just want to use the machine. I have been programming in Unix for over 10 years and running Linux for 5 years, with few major problems until now. Is that progress or what? ------------------------------------- Len Lawrence @ The Thistle Foundation
