It's entirely normal. 276M is the "size" and includes memory addresses that have been mapped for AGP and such-like, i.e. all of this memory is NOT allocated from your RAM. The actual resident size (RSS) is 7992K. > I am pretty sure that the ,,unstable'' version worked fine on the same > system. "Pretty sure" is apparently not good enough. :) Your previous X installation, if it made use of AGP, would have shown exactly the same behaviour. -- charl p. botha http://cpbotha.net/ http://visualisation.tudelft.nl/
