thanks for your answers. With some comments: 1. I've asked at XIG what it is about and they told me that this a problem of FreeBSD OS. Not about their server. Anyway I have asked also why they didn't test Accel 5.0.2 on FreeBSD 3.x ? With no success.No comments. I have also asked about 3D X server why they did not provide a version for FreeBSD and chambers@xig.com told me that there is no plan port for this yet :( 2. Well indeed, it is using that much memory but I have 80 MBRAM on my box and starting X, and a terminal (xterm) I have reported by top: Free 55M. So am I wrong with something how can a process to be in SIZE 54 and free mem to have 55M. stef At 12:05 AM 12/13/99 -0800, Mike Smith wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> I have posted this email for question@freebsd.org but I didn't got any answer. >> >> >> I am running FreeBSD 3.3 Release on one laptop Toshiba and as XServer the >> Accelerated X 5.0.2.
