Interesting...
I commented out the DRI and glx (opengl or any other 3D modules) in my X
config file and now I have not seen the problem again...
However, I do remember that everytime it happened I was running Galeon, so
it could be that galeon was somehow leaking memory, but, not that I was
looking for that in particular.
There might be some kind of conflict between the 3D modules for X and
Galeon???
Thanks for your help...
I used to see something like this on my slackware box, and I think it was
due to a memory leak in netscape. After a while it would start paging
uncontrolably, and it was hard to get control of my system. The solution
was to start using Mozilla.
does it start happening if you leave your system idle for a while (but with
some programs running?) With netscape even if I left the system untouched
for several hours sometimes it would start paging like mad.
See if there is a particular program that you are running when this
happens, maybe it has a bug that results in an infinite loop.
