Hi, Carlos, I was using the gnome-mag and gnopernicus versions available in Ubuntu 6.06 and in SUSE Linux 10.1, so I don't think the problem is related to a specific distribution. I used gnome-mag through gnopernicus. 8x magnification factor; left = 0, right = 767, top = 540, bottom = 1023, i.e. the lower third of a 1024x768 display (color depth = 24). Crosshair: off; mouse tracking: proportional; cursor tracking: auto. I use the nvidia proprietary drivers, so I have 3D acceleration and more than 7000 FPS.
At the time when I noticed this memory leak I was using mainly Firefox. When I open a new page and scroll through it, the memory usage increases, because I think gnome-mag (or maybe gnopernicus?) caches the new images it displays. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carlos Eduardo Rodrigues Diogenes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Aurelian Radu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 26, 2006 3:42 AM Subject: Re: Fwd: gnome-mag's memory usage > Hi Aurelian, > > Are you running gnome-mag throw gnopernicus?
