I'm running MDK 9.0 and the stock nv driver. I have 256 MB RAM so it took several days before X brought my system to the breaking point.
On my older system with a VESA driver 16-bit color, the X process clocks in at 24 MB (the "size" column in top). On the nv system with 24 bit color, X begins (!!!) 69 MB! Overnight, it popped up to 77MB, and climbed to 80 over the half-hour I was working with it. It was up over 200 when it brought my PC to its knees. I'm running KDE with a lot of toys (e.g., transparent menus, news ticker) but they shouldn't send X through the roof, should it? How would I go about fixing this? -- j
