Ps and top report the amount of memory being used by the number of pages mapped to your process. Because the Banshee has 16MB of framebuffer and 32MB of control registers the process size will be at least 48MB. Of course, this is using almost no RAM in your system since it is real memory or registers on the board. I believe this is what is happening with the Voodoo3 as well. -Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
