| |
Since I don't have any real proof to explain this, I'll try and be quick. With 2.3.51 and 2.2.14pre14, I leave X on for days at a time, with no problems. However, when running the pre-2.4 kernels (currently pre2-4), I've noticed something interesting - when running X overnight, without anything but enlightenment and a couple of builtin programs running, I find that an enormous amount of memory is being used by the system, and no process seems to be allocating that much. Whereas there are usually about 13MB w/o buffers/cache used while just running console, there are now 57 MB used, and no programs seem to be using that much memory - this seems like a huge kernel memory leak, but I cannot explain what is causing it.
