Hello X experts,
I can't find mailing list info on this.

In any case, since I have 32 MB of VRAM (taken out from 256 main),
shouldn't the SIZE be closer to 32? Or is it considering the main memory
since it's shared?

How do I know for sure if the memory counts reported by /proc/PID/status
(which is used by 'top' and 'ps') refer to RAM and not VRAM?

The SiS driver does not use ANY memory. The memory listed here includes 
the mapped video RAM.

Please search the mailing list archives on www.xfree86.org, the 
inaccuracy of such measurements has been discussed in detail.
