It doesn't really matter whether the server is local or on the other end of a network connection, the memory usage should be about the same. If you are running a CVS X-server (with the X-Resource extension) you can see how much pixmap memory the app is using with this app: http://www.xfree86.org/~mvojkovi/restest.c MArk. _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
