Hi,

I want to know how much a vncserver process usage of memory? How can i
measure that? Is it same on Solaris? Can vnc server affect other system
processes if memory usage is high? or in another way?
On m$windows machines and unix machines where it forwards the console, vncserver is relative small since its main job is to read the display memory and forward that to the viewer.

On unix machines, where vnc provides a fresh display, the display memory is entirely in program memory. Then it is a complete (however minimal) X11 server so it is definitly larger. For 1024 x 768 pixels and 8 bits colordepth, I'd say it uses a megabyte memory. With 1280 x 1024 and fullcolor, it uses more than 5 MByte for the display memory only. Since it is a complete new display, you must add all programs that make the session like the desktop manager (kde, gnome, cde), the window manager and such. They also have their footprint which might be based on the display size and colordepth.

Lot's of question because this is my first mail to the group and i am
the newest member.. i guess ;-)

Just read the list, and if you have a question: one question per message and a clear subject.
