That's 344 Meg, not Kilobytes.. 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.
