Re: [gentoo-amd64] RAM problem with X
Luigi Pinna wrote: Hi! Since when xorg 7 became stable, it found some problems with stability of my graphic session. I wrote some times ago but nothing helped to solve this strange situation... The problem is that the X process starts to eat all available memory (first RAM and after swap) until that to kill everything (first applications and after keyboard and kernel). Until same days ago all my trials gave no solution. That was the same with KDE and blackbox graphic environment. I restarted X server each 5-6 hours and put free memory again (and that system worked) Same 2 days my session run stable without new restart. I think that a found the problem: firefox-bin. If I use that program (to use flash website) and I forget it open, X process starts to eat the memory; if I close it the problem diseappear and very slowly it releases the memory. Someone notice a similar problem? It is a bug? Where I must send it? As xorg or firefox-bin bug? I run a stable system (xorg-7.1). Each piece of advice is welcome. Thanks a lot, Luigi Yes, this is a problem of firefox in general (why first I wrote genetal?). It exists in windows' firefox, and obviously in *nix. I reported the problem months ago, and nothing changed. The problem, as far as I remember, was the firefox blocks pop-up windows, thus growing in memory until you close it.

Re: [gentoo-amd64] New ATI proprietary driver
Chris Traylor wrote: Has anybody tried the new ATI driver? I did the emerge, and everything seemed fine. However, when I go to log in, any keypress or mouse click crashes the entire system. If I switch from the fglrx driver to the open source radeon driver everything works (or at least the things that the xorg driver supports, seems to work). I tried updating qt,kde, and reinstalling xorg 7.1, but all to no avail. I haven't gotten to trudging through the X logs yet, but I figured I'd go fishing for ideas, just in case, someone ran across this as well. Any ideas (sans a lecture about slaveryware from Duncan) would be appreciated. Chris I've had the problem some time ago. It was 8.20.something version of the driver.

[gentoo-amd64] another little problem appeared (ATI driver/direct rendering/kernel)
Well, I had been using the kernel 2.6.17-r8 and everything seemed ok with the subj. But then I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.18-r1, and there's one feature I can't get started with. As it is said in a few faqs (including gentoo faq) of howto install DRI, in order to get the thing working you must enable kernel agp support with the proper driver installed. My driver seemed to be CONFIG_AGP_AMD64. It was enabled in the kernel previous, it is enabled in the kernel actual: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/src/linux $ cat .config|grep AGP_AMD64 CONFIG_AGP_AMD64=y But it is not seen when I use make menuconfig. I syncronically checked all the options which were enabled at the previous kernel, but it did not appear, and I can't find out why. I tried to check dependencies, but didn't succeed. And the thing is dri doesn't work with 2.6.18-r1. I checked 2.6.17-r8, it does. ___ All new Yahoo!

Re: [gentoo-amd64] kernel recompile?
Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. wrote: On Tuesday 31 October 2006 09:59, Daniel Iliev [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote about 'Re: [gentoo-amd64] kernel recompile?': I think gcc version should not have impact on X because NVidia's drivers are binary, closed source - they don't care about the gcc used to compile the kernel or the X server. Actually I think the emerge only installs those drivers and checks for common configuration errors. No, there's no way to make a pure binary driver that works on all systems, because symbols in the kernel will be at different locations depending on options it was compiled with. Should this mean, that you have to recompile all the drivers already installed after recompiling the kernel with a new feature added or after upgrading it up to newer version?
