Public bug reported: Yesterday I installed dapper (6.06 LTS) on my machine at work and ran updates rebooted a few times due to other config changes, such as NIS and NFS. I left it on overnight and this morning I found it had consumed almost all my memory and swap space (1GB RAM and 2GB of swap).
I'm using a mixed version of my old mandriva 2006 xorg.conf and kubuntu xorg.conf, so I'm including it here. Please let me know if you need more info and how I can get it for you. ---- # /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file) # # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using # values from the debconf database. # # Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page. # (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.) # # This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only* # if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg # package. # # If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated # again, run the following command: # sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg Section "Files" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi" # path to defoma fonts FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType" EndSection Section "Module" Load "i2c" Load "bitmap" Load "ddc" Load "extmod" Load "freetype" Load "int10" Load "type1" Load "vbe" load "glx" load "GLcore" load "v4l" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" option "CoreKeyboard" option "XkbRules" "xorg" option "XkbModel" "pc104" option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" option "CorePointer" option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "stylus" option "Device" "/dev/wacom"# Change to option "Type" "stylus" option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"# Tablet PC ONLY # /dev/input/event # for USB EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "eraser" option "Device" "/dev/wacom"# Change to option "Type" "eraser" option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"# Tablet PC ONLY # /dev/input/event # for USB EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "cursor" option "Device" "/dev/wacom"# Change to option "Type" "cursor" option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4"# Tablet PC ONLY # /dev/input/event # for USB EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "monitor1" VendorName "Philips" ModelName "Philips Brilliance 201(21inch/CM1700)" HorizSync 31.5-107.0 VertRefresh 50.0-170.0 # TV fullscreen mode or DVD fullscreen output. # 768x576 @ 79 Hz, 50 kHz hsync ModeLine "768x576" 50.00 768 832 846 1000 576 590 595 630 # 768x576 @ 100 Hz, 61.6 kHz hsync ModeLine "768x576" 63.07 768 800 960 1024 576 578 590 616 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "device1" VendorName "Intel Corp."
