Summary: start X with nouveau uses a lot of memory
Product: xorg
Version: unspecified
Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS/Version: Linux (All)
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Driver/nouveau

some tests
I compared memory usage between nouveau and the blob : when I start with
nouveau, it uses ~500M more than with the other. But I can't find where this
memory is gone. No process in the userspace seems to have used it.
When I kill X, I get my memory back. See the attachment for some figures.
videocard : 7800 GS AGP (256 Mo)
Kernel : 2.6.24-gentoo-r2
X: 1.4.0.90 plus some patches (I'm an gentoo user : 1.4.0.90-r3)
libdrm, x11-drm, mesa, nouveau from git (last build : 09/03/08 in the morning)
