XFree86 memory leak! Message-ID: <20011110135209.H77029-100000@soda.csua.berkeley.edu> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I'm running XF86-4.1, port revision 4 (working on a build of 10 though) and I'm having serious problems with memory usage. This same build of X has been running fine for *months* but now it's using up memory like it's going out of style-- I've been in kde for about 3 minutes and top is reporting: last pid: 13436; load averages: 0.10, 0.33, 0.27 up 0+01:45:23 59 processes: 2 running, 57 sleeping CPU states: 16.3% user, 0.0% nice, 2.7% system, 0.8% interrupt Mem: 77M Active, 131M Inact, 31M Wired, 8312K Cache, 35M Buf, 1016K Free Swap: 512M Total, 512M Free PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 12993 root 2 0 12312K 7612K RUN 0:45 10.89% 10.89% xmms 12984 root 2 0 62532K 60636K select 0:19 2.49% 2.49% XFree86 Is there any way I can try to debug this sort of behavior? Any explanation why it would suddenly start going nuts like this? I haven't made any changes to X (though I recently started running kde2.2 as my default) in months.
