Memory usage and swap (was Re: 2008.9 Basic questions)

Don't know why that should be, but there you are. The answer there is to run top while using the phone... you'll see that it's running at pretty much at the limits of the 128MB built in. I always thought that only free would report the correct memory numbers. Right now, top reports this on my FR: Mem:123856k total, 118412k used, 5444k free, 136k buffers Compare that to the output of free: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/media/card# free total used free sharedbuffers cached Mem:123856 118272 5584 0136 75712 -/+ buffers/cache: 42424 81432 Swap:65528 28 65500 The line Mem shows memory used including caches that will be overwritten whenever a program requires more memory. The line -/+ buffers/cache supposedly shows the real memory usage, currently about 42M. If that were to reach 128M, we would be in real trouble. I'm going to turn the swap off again...

(irrespective if they can even use more than 10% of the features of the phone, nor see the pixels they have so many of...) :) I think the high resolution / high DPI might come in handy when displaying those complex kanji characters. So maybe it's not just about having better tech specs... signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
