Hi,
I search settings that will save Xorg memory usage. OpenOffice seems to
use a huge amount of ram, through X server, in some situations (for
example, printing with transparency).
On linux terminal (like LTSP) the memory for X server is on the terminal
itself. When the terminal doesn't have enough memory, it crash because
the kernel kills the X server. It is easy to do so because the available
RAM is usualy under 96 Mb.
I did graphs of the memory usage with the tool "xrestop". You can see
some of them at this URL :
http://www.mille-xterm.org/en/TerminalMemoryUsage
When printing with OpenOffice.org 2.0.2 (binaries from openoffice.org) a
document of 5 pages that contains images with transparency, then the
memory usage goes up to 70 Mb! That kind of thing should not happen.
All Linux terminals projects absolutely need to prevent burst memory
usage for terminals. Comments are welcome.
Thanks,
Francis
