Hello Martin
I made a second observation:
1. In the beginning all is OK but after a while when you scroll windows
with the mouse wheel (mostly in internet browsers, xpdf, image viewer)
it start to scramble/ mixing up the window content.
2. you can fix when you use the page down and up keys or if you refresh
the content of browsers or views where possible.
I hope this info is helping you in finding the problem.
I have made few tests as long as it not start to write to the swap area
the window content is not freezing. I have opened programms until 3.5GB
cloded some and went one opening new once all did fine, so maybe you
guess is right that the problem starts after the operating system has to
write some data to the swap area.
Thanks for you help and support.
Greeting Chris

Subject: [Bug 333789] Re: window content is freeazing
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.
Which applications do you use, and which applications are using those
3500 MB of RAM?
Do you use a swap partition?
greetings
Martin

Bug description:
Hello all
I have:
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
Linux xxxxx 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:28:32 UTC 2009 x86_64
GNU/Linux installed with actual updates.
I have Nvidia driver 177.82 installed.
I have configuret TwinView with first screen 1440x900
second screen 1600x1200 resolution.
Now I have observed the following behaviour.
1. First all is working fine I can open applications and terminals and
documents, etc.
2. Then after a while, when the free memory of the computer (installed 4
GB) gets low (less that a 1/2 GB free) the content of fresh opened
windows starts to freeze (is no more correctly displayed).
3. For a while I can resize the window a bit (make it bigger) then the content
is refreshed/displayed. I can still work in the window I just don't see any
updates of the window content changes.
Al the previous opened windows (programmes) are still working fine/normal, I
can enter data and the changes getting displayed.
4. Then after a while, even the older opened windows getting affected
and I can only reboot the computer to get ridge of this behaviours
(maybe restart of the X server would do, but I just reboot).
I'm very happy how Ubuntu 64 is working, compared with Vista (have dual
boot installation) it is very fast, congratulations, but this small bug
really hampers me to recommend it to other in my company (I'm the first
Linux Ubuntu tester in my company)
If you need further info feel free to contact me.
Would be grate if there would be a way to solve this problem.
Thanks for you effort
Greetings Chris
