since this is my first time compiling the kernel this isn't strange that I don't have "as86" right? This is normal that I have to go out and find this via google.com? thanks - greg s. Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.18/arch/i386/boot' cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.

XF86_SVGA consuming over 60% of my memory

I'm running Debian potato, so I have the pre version 4 of XFree. It used to run like a champ. After installing a few more packages and doing an update here or there, it appears I have a memory leak. I barely have anything running compared to when it ran like a champ and now I'm always on the bord
