No, not recently. But I've seen similar problems in the past. It may not be a problem with X, but a problem with cached pixmaps for one of the X clients. Try using a program called "xrestop". Also try closing all programs you are running one at a time and watch the memory usage. -- Zan Lynx <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
