AKA: Wit's End
Still trying to find the source of this memory leak in my system. I
reinstalled XFree86 4.2 from the binaries off of their website, but this
has not made any apparent difference.
The only real information I have is that it only leaks while X is running,
so presumably that
Something glares at me. can you set your BIOS for APIC instead of PIC?
Not sure, but will try.
I have noticed some instability, filesystem dependent, on the
binary-only NVIdia drivers from the distro, somewhat but not completely
removed by the more recent Mandrake-specific drivers from
to try not running any mozilla based browsers for a while, to
see if that helps at all. I'll let you know if it does.
Thanks for any help you can offer me!

how much memory do you have?
256 meg RAM
is it shared video mem?
Video card is an NVIDIA GeforceMX with 32 meg.
how much disk space do you have? (type df, and post it)
It's a 20 gig hard drive. df yields:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hde2
We had a similar problem. We had weird symptoms such as a logger looked
like it was running away, find made the machine hang (had to use the
power button on that one) but only sometimes. Turned out to be flaky
RAM. As soon as we replaced it and doubled it, all was right with the
world.
