Hi,
I've noticed a strange X server behavior regarding to Memory
utilization. Look at this "ps" output:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
....
root 20454 0.0 99.9 204284 4294964944 ? S<L Sep26 1:36 /usr/X11R6/bin/X
root 23460 0.0 2.2 13172 5828 ? S Sep26 0:00 -:0
....
Top gives the same impression:

-----------------------------------------
Any ideas on why this is happening and if I should worry about
it? I'm running woody, with the following additional info:
Package: xfree86-common Version: 4.1.0-5
Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.1.0-5
Package: nvidia-glx Version: 1.0.1512-2
Package: nvidia-kernel-2.4.10 Version: 1.0.1512-1
kernel 2.4.10, icewm, kdm, etc.. on a single PIII machine, 256MB
~$ cat /proc/nv/card0
