I'm experiencing the same "cache grows" issue with driver 2.7.99 and kernels 2.6.30, but a i915 card. So the problematic code must be common.
It took me some time to figure that was not a kernel issue, but a video driver one. I can confirm caches take about half of my 500 MB of RAM, arent' dropped by issuing "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches", and don't decrease even when the system is dying by lack of memory. -- [i945] Running Out of Memory with UXA (KMS) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/376092 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
