I'm having trouble with Xorg under Etch i386 and similar annoyance under amd64.
Over time, xorg takes up more and more memory. On my i386, I only have 64 MB of ram so I can only run X for about 45 minutes before the system thrashes. Eventually, Xorg dies but doesn't release the screen. If I let the system sit for about 60 minutes, the thrashing subsides and I can ssh in and reboot to get my screen back. Hard on the disk, but the i386 is only a client box. On my amd64 Athlon64, I have 1 GB of ram so can run xorg; I haven't left this computer run long enough to run out of memory and thrash since its my main box; it gets turned off at night and through the day acts as a server. In the evening if I want to access the big screen, I'll run X for a couple of hours. This happens irrespective of window manager or DTE; on the i386 icewm takes up less memory so Xorg will run longer before thrashing than if I'm running xfce. It also happens if I don't use a wm at all and just run rxvt. Is anyone else seeing this? Is it fixed in Lenny/Sid? Any plans to fix it for Etch?
