This laptop is basically used for web browsing with only Thunderbird
and Firefox running on it 99% of the time. I did install and run xrestop which of course shows firefox consuming most of the memory: xrestop - Display: localhost:0 Monitoring 31 clients. XErrors: 6 Pixmaps: 332424K total, Other: 98K total, All: 332523K total res-base Wins GCs Fnts Pxms Misc Pxm mem Other Total PID Identifier 3200000 187 60 1 2632 49 308625K 7K 308633K ?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't know why this particular laptop is suffering so much but upon review my other laptops and desktops also have huge Xorg processes. I know this laptop wasn't suffering from this problem before recently so I'm wondering what changed. My other desktops and laptops are also fully up2date so I can't easily confirm this theory.

If you run xrestop it could help to diagnose if it is truly the X server or one of the applications on the system which is consuming the memory. -- Greg Gulik http://www.gulik.org/greg/ greg @ gulik.org |
