Typically high memory usage of X is caused by other programs asking X to store things for them. You can use the xrestop program to see how much is being used for each program. This problem may be because some other program is never telling X that it's done with resources. xrestop should be able to tell you which program it is. Of course theoretically it's possible there's a leak in one of the X components (especially the binary graphics driver), but this is far more common. -- dolphinling <http://dolphinling.net/> ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

Try a more recent version of the kernel, xf86-video-intel, and possibly X. The kernel and xf86-video-intel are both 3 versions out of date, and I think there have been fixes for both of the errors you posted in that time. -- dolphinling <http://dolphinling.net/> ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

That looks like what I had a while back on an 845, and IIRC it was a kernel update that fixed it. I'm currently running a drm-intel-next kernel, I don't remember exactly when it was fixed but my bet would be that current stable has it at least. -- dolphinling <http://dolphinling.net/> ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

What kind of monitor connection is it (VGA, DVI, ...)? Also, is there anything between the graphics card and the monitor, such as a KMS switch? The driver version in Hardy is even older that the one in Lenny. If you don't mind trying another Ubuntu, could you try Jaunty? Even better would be if you could jaunty but with a newer kernel and xf86-video-intel. That's about all I can think of, hopefully that's enough to push you in the right direction to fix it or someone who knows better will come along. -- dolphinling <http://dolphinling.net/> ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

I have this same problem, but *only* when running inside an Xnest. I'm running xorg-server 1.6.1.901. I have no xorg.conf. I have xf86-input-evdev installed, and no x-i-mouse or x-i-keyboard. The only strange thing I'm doing is using the colemak keyboard layout in my main server, but not in the nested server.

[intel 845G/GL] Status of xorg, xf86-video-intel, etc on 845
I've been trying to run the latest xorg components on an i845 for a while now, and I haven't found a good set of component versions + configurations that works well. Here's info on the most recent release + current git versions of stuff. If there's anywhere else I should put this (e.g. individual problems to bugzilla) just say so. For future reference, I run gentoo, and all packages are from either gentoo or the gentoo x11 overlay, except for the kernel, which is either from kernel.org or one of the drm-intel kernels. All the Xorg.0.logs from this are available at http://dolphinling.net/xorglogs/ I would be very happy to help out with any testing/etc for making these work, subject to availability (which is more or less entirely random). Thanks! Components used: xorg-server-1.5.99.903 mesa-7.3 xf86-video-intel-2.6.1 and current git libdrm-2.4.4 with x-v-i-2.6.1 and libdrm current git with x-v-i git kernel-2.6.28-drm-intel from intellinuxgraphics.org and 2.6.29-rc5 Results: 2.6.28-drm-intel: xf86-video-intel-2.6.1: noaccel: works, vt switch problem* + puts monitor in unusable state exa: server does not start (bug 19336) uxa: server starts, missing some fonts, some areas of screen just grey, can't log in noconf: exa xf86-video-intel-git: noaccel: works, vt switch problem* + puts monitor in unusable state (no memory leak) exa: fonts too small on login screen, wrong resolution, some areas not painting, no cursor, vt switch problem, glxgears < 5 fps uxa: memory leak*, (there is a cursor) 2.6.29-rc5: xf86-video-intel-2.6.1: noaccel: login screen displays, buttons broken, can't log in, no cursor exa: fonts too small/missing/too large/corrupted; wrong resolution, no cursor, things not drawing sometimes, can log in uxa: same as 2.6.28-drm-intel (maybe even pixel-for-pixel) noconf: fonts too small/missing/corrupted, textarea black, can't log in xf86-video-intel-git: noaccel: no cursor, glxgears broken, memory leak*, vt switch problem* exa: fonts too small, no cursor, wrong resolution, some areas do not paint, glxgears < 10fps, memory leak very slow?* vt switch problem* uxa: same as noaccel * memory leak: memory is used used up very fast, especially with firefox.

Starts swapping when memory full, but nothing ever crashed from OOM. * vt switch problem: when attempted to switch vts, the screen did not update, but the switch worked. I could log in and make mplayer play music blindly. In the nicer incarnation, a few pixels would change but mostly whatever was displayed would stay. In the worse incarnation, the screen would go black and my monitor's power light would start blinking orange, and the only way to get things to display would be to turn the monitor off, switch back to X, then turn the monitor on again. If turned back on while on a non-X vt it would just keep blinking orange. -- dolphinling <http://dolphinling.net/> ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
