Hmm. It was better after I restarted X a few times. It was at 20M or so for a while, but by the end of the day around 60M. I was away from my computer for 2 hours or so and when I got back it was locked up(sysrq worked)
I disabled dpms(caused problems with nvidia driver before?) and am running that while loop outputting to a file now. If anything, gaim is the program causing the leak(budy icons)....that is after using gaim for a bit the memory usage goes up. Closing gaim stops the usage from going up, but it doesn't go back down. Is there any way to get a better breakdown of what the memory used by X is made up of? Right now its been at 138912 19932 for 5 minutes, hopefully it will stay there... -Justin On Sat, Nov 03, 2001 at 06:36:38PM -0800, Mark Vojkovich wrote: > On Sat, 3 Nov 2001, Justin A wrote: > > > X seems to be leaking memory in the past two days.
