Are you sure it isn't just disk cache? As I understand it, FreeBSD keeps things it reads from disk in memory until that memory is needed by something else, the effect being that very little of physical memory is ever completely unused. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Memory and Battery applets
I'm running Gnome 2.8 on a recent version of FreeBSD Stable 5.3 on an x86 (dell latitude d600) processor, and whenever my system is on the memory usage shown in the gnome memory monitor slowly climbs to 100% over the course of about an hour. Gkrellm confirms that it the memory is slowly going away, even when I'm not interacting with the system. Should I be concerned about this (is there a memory leak or something or is the applet just buggy?) Furthermore, when I was running gnome 2.6 and 5.3 Release the battery applet would error about apm's non-responsiveness whenever the system was booted. Now, with 2.8 and stable, it doesn't error but instead periodically interupts function of mouse and keyboard (about once every 10 seconds) and therefore makes the system unusable (without massive frustration). Is this a bug, is this fixable, or should I just switch to gkrellm until something changes? -Matt Aasted ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
