I'm not even running the Firenet scripts (if you have them please send them my way). I've only dipped into swap once and that was for 52kB and that was during a brute force attack on a password. With Xastir only taking 0.5% of my physical memory (about 20MB of RAM) I can't see it being a memory problem. It might be a video problem but I can surf over to another workspace and I don't have any problems. Actually the problem seems to happen when I'm looking at it and when I'm on a different workspace.
I just trimmed back to a 14580 port vice 2023 just encase. I just noticed something. I'm using 1.8.4 when others are using 1.9.1. I'm forgetting what I need to do to update my install. Isn't it something easy? Eric Gerry Creager wrote: > Eric, > > If I start dipping into swap I tend to get more RAM. You're already > well outfitted with 4GB physical memory.
