As far as I can tell everything is fine. I've got the i810 driver as 
required for my intel graphics (945G I think...)

blackbart:/var/log# free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           495        476         19          0         24        133

Swap:         1239         54       1185

This is the result at the moment, when I have two xterms running, gimp, 
and icedove.
