I forgot that xf86-video-intel is for the old cards only, the new way is to use drm-kmod + xorg modesetting this is my default setup (even no xorg.conf). I am sometimes using scfb when no drm is loaded just to have xorg working. Anyways in a test setup I also did install the xf86-video-intel (along with scfb and drm-kmod) that was explicitly selected in xorg.conf and it seems to interfere the way described by eating up the memory. Maybe there is another reason, I am not yet sure, my workstation was freezing after some time and I had to hard-reset it. But there is no need to have this driver when drm-kmod is present. So I have uninstalled the intel driver and the problem is gone :-) Best regards :-) Tomek -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
