I've only had major problems when I leave certain screen savers running overnight. What would happen is, RAM would gradually start to be used up, but no program would lay claim to it. Even after killing everything off and dropping to single-user mode, I would still have about 2-300 MB RAM unaccounted for. As this *only* happened when I was running a GL screensaver, I figured it had to be the nVidia driver, and sure enough, there was mention of this in the forums.
Which screensaver? I have used almost all of the stock xscreensaver GL 'savers, and they always run overnight. I'm eager to try and duplicate this prob :)
I don't believe any official fix/workaround has been found, nor have I seen any definitive docs on what causes the bug to happen. However, since I started using agpgart, I haven't had any problems.
Do you have fast writes enabled? SBA? I would use the DRI agpgart, but nvidia's one _is_ faster, (benched).
Cheers, MAL
