Hi,

I noticed that my machine at work (I didn't install it) does a lot of
swapping. I think it has something to do with X 4.2.0 . The machine has
only about 130MB RAM, but the size of X seems ridiculously large.

  PID USER   PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT  LIB %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
 2322 root    11   0  278M 274M  3536 S       0  1.5 214.9  17:47 X

Even more so if I compare it with another machine running 3.3.6,   

19243 root       0   0 43172  41M  1316 S       0  0.0 32.7 618:33 X
 
Is this normal? I can't believe that to run X 4.2 in a comfortable way
you have to have a minimum of 256MB... 

Some info people may want to know (from the logs)
(--) PCI:*(1:0:0) NVidia GeForce2 MX 100/200 rev 178, Mem @
0xe9000000/24, 0xf00

(II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
        compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.2880
        Module class: XFree86 Server Extension
        ABI class: XFree86 Server Extension, version 0.1

(II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
        compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.2880
        Module class: XFree86 Video Driver

So I think it uses some foreign drivers...
