Hello everybody I am using Debian GNU/Linux with KDE 2.2.2 and XFree 4.1, and I experience what could be call a memory leak. Here is an extract of the top command after running my computer under X one day.
PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 1141 root 5 -10 425M 169M 3996 S < 0.0 33.5 2:56 XFree86 On startup, the size of XFree86 is 278Mb, and it grows up to 2 Gb (in about 3 days), and then crashes. I am using an NVidia card, so I have first think of a problem with closed-source drivers, but there is the same problem with the opensource 2D driver included in XFree. So I have done a "ps xa", and each day running my computer without one of the listed program. No it remains the following programs in the list , which are all KDE related (that's why I am posting to this list): PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 1106 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/kdm 1118 ?

My chipset is a KT266A chipset, I am using the kernel agpart module, and my video card is a GeForce 256. Is anybody experienced the same problem, or anybody have a solution ?
