I have asmem running in my toolbar, and when I start wine up, I just watch my swap progress from 80% free or so down until it gets to 10% free at which point I kill it. I'm just using XFree 3.3.3.1 with the SVGA server, if that was broken I would think a lot more people would be complaining. --- John Baldwin <jobaldwi@vt.edu> -- http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/ PGP Key: http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
