I have a friend (samman@cs.yale.edu) who is running an IBM ThinkPad 500 with 12MB RAM/10MB swap, FreeBSD 2.0.5R. In the course of running X, he is getting out-of-swap errors, but is not using more than 15MB of VM ever. We just upgraded this from 1.1.5.1, and I remember a lot of discussion about the overcommit algorithms, and I was wondering if either John Dyson or David Greenman could explain away this behavior. Also, if this is the expected behavior, is there a #define to change it or could someone point me to the correct place to hack? Thanks, Marc. -- I telnetted to whitehouse.gov, and all I got was this lousy .signature!
