The patches for the updated Wine port are available upon > request. Actually - from this - to me, it looks like X is taking up all the space. This is likely some issue/bug/interaction between Wine and X11 causing the X server to have to allocate a lot of space, or do some other work. You could get really "low level" and trace the X11 events (using something like Xscope) to see what X11 request(s) could be causing the problem. But, that is probably the "long way around." However, something is causing the X server to have difficulty... - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
