I thought I saw somewhere were that might be the leak, but I couldn't see it leak by updating my root window.For me it has always been process related. X seems to develop some insane memory leak and then when I close the offending process things are ok again. Can't recall now what where suspect culprits (I think it was something either web/flash related or dri). Try closing programs when that happens and see after each one if things go back to normal.
I have had problems with a javavm eating up memory. It seems to be getting started by firefox and then memory and swap just disappear as the system slows to a near halt. The last time I killed the javavm, it took out firefox with it. It freed up about 10MB of real memory and about 240MB of swap. The system immediately started to respond normally after that. -- Marc Shapiro mshapiro_42@yahoo.com -- Marc Shapiro mshapiro_42@yahoo.com
