This is not necessarily a problem of the X server in terms of a classic memory leak. Applications can register data structures within the X server, for their own and other use. It is the responsibility of the applications to free those structures again after use. If they don't the memory usage of the server increases and the server can be falsely guessed to be guilty. Please check your applications and see which one is causing the memory usage to increase! Common problems are allocated but not freed pixmaps... > thanks > Pierfrancesco Tateo CU nils faerber -- kernel concepts Tel: +49-271-771091-12 Dreisbachstr. 24 Fax: +49-271-771091-19 D-57250 Netphen D1 : +49-170-2729106 -- _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
