I'm running Debian potato, so I have the pre version 4 of XFree. It used to run like a champ. After installing a few more packages and doing an update here or there, it appears I have a memory leak.
I barely have anything running compared to when it ran like a champ and now I'm always on the border line of memory starvation. with 256 Mbytes of ram I tend to have only 50 Mbytes or less free. a 128 Mbyte swap file is down to 36 Mbytes or less free. Here's what I do have running: - XF86-SVGA - bash - communicator-sm - deskguide_applet - emacs - gkrellm - gmc - gnapster - gnome-terminal - gtop - mini_commander applet - panel - sawfish - tasklist_applet wah! my machine is running like a win98 machine! used to be I could have 2 emacs sessions, an xterm, gqview, several netscape windows, and more and run for over a month with no lose of resources. It was rock solid, now its limping like a sick puppy. any ideas? - greg s.
