Quake3 for 20 minutes causes X to eat another 10M of ram.
Killing galeon or xmms frees about 2M from the X process. Logging out of X to the xdm login screen shows X still using the same ammount it was with all the apps running(minus 10M or so from all the apps) The other day this was 120M. I made some graphs(scale: 1=30s): http://bouncybouncy.net/~justin/data.png was mostly stable until I ran quake3(twice with a break). http://bouncybouncy.net/~justin/data2.png for the last 15 minutes, running xchats+galeon+gaim+xterms(no quake3) -Justin _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
