Please have a look at bug #599769 "the xorg server consumes ram without freeing it whilst using a 3d application" http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=599769 Is this the same problem you are experiencing? This is not a packaging related problem, but an issue in the proprietary driver itself, so the Debian NVIDIA Maintainers can't fix this. Please have a look at the NVIDIA forum and see if your problem has been reported there already. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14 Otherwise you should report the problem directly to NVIDIA, following NVIDIA's bug reporting instructions: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=46678 Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
