most of it is due to the video memory on your card, X includes that in the "memory usage". Another is memory leaks depending on what you run. Much of the leaks I don't think are purely the X server's fault but the apps themselves, especially if you do a lot of graphics work. check this out ..I think this is among the highest memory usage I have seen for X.. root 1125 0.3 12.4 372424 96436 ? S<L Jan09 82:23 /usr/bin/X11/X -dpi 100 128MB video card. My old P3-733 I used at work(16MB) used to get bigger (420MB), but that was with 30 virtual desktops and more then a month of running w/o restarting X. As a result I'd have to restart X at about that point as it would get more and more sluggish. The above machine has only about 10 virtual desktops and a fraction of the uptime. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
