On a machine with ;
XFree86-4.0.2-4mdk
2.4.0-5mdkcrypto kernel
kdebase-2.1-0.20010122.5mdk series
being installed recently .
This happens no matter which WM I use;
even low resource ones like XFCE,BB,IceWm,
all end up dissolving as kapm begins to suck the
system dry.
kapm-idle begins using 75-85% of an AMD450 122mgR
which I now imagine has been the culprit which has been
causing nightly crashes which I discover in the morning.
I can kill -9 the pid and it will go back to its "killed" pid
but now be at a nice 0.0% (What gives here?) Then at some
point which I have yet to discover it gets hungry again !!!
Is this a big memory leak or my leaky brain missing the obvious? :)
