Well here is /proc/<pid>/maps
<<mapxggi>>
looks like fbdev is included in the map so I assume that the ram on my
Rage128 (16MB) is included in the memory usage. I can't make sense of what
the columns are in this map file so I would appreciate pointers on this one.
Hence XGGI (and ggi etc) would use about 5MB?

David

Could you start by checking /proc/<pid>/maps for XGGI and XF86_FBDev
respectively, and see what the RAM is used for (and whether it is RAM
at all, or just framebuffer mem) ? Mail the results to me in any case,
I'd like to have a look as well.

One way is to skip out the cfb renderers for color depths you'll
never use, but I have never looked at this myself. I really find
it strange that XGGI should use so much more RAM, so before saying
anything else I'd like to check those maps files.
Btw, I tried to test your XGGI binary, but it seems to be corrupted
in some way. Trying to run it causes an instant segfault in the
dynamic linker, and trying to run any of my cross-binutils
(objdump/nm/strings) on it crashes them because they are trying to
malloc() 1.5GB of memory... Could you gzip it before sending so
there'll be some checksumming.
