Hi,
I wonder if anyone knows of (seemingly massive) memory leaks in the Xft code that does antialiasing when the RENDER extension is absent. I'm using the Xft version (2.0) that ships with Redhat 8, and have noticed that, on my laptop whose video chipset (S3 Aurora 64V+) is RENDER unsupported, gnome-terminal's memory utilization grows quickly and without bound as long as it is rendering text. e.g., "ls -alR /" will grow its memory usage by around a megabyte per second. This does not happen with antialiasing turned off, nor on another otherwise similarly configured computer which has the RENDER extension enabled (and this is not, needless to say, just a function of the scrollback buffer growing). I haven't yet verified whether this is a gnome-terminal specific effect, though I doubt it. I thought before I made any more effort to track this down I'd check to see if it is a known problem. Thanks much, Nathaniel _______________________________________________ Render mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/render
