On top I'm running XFree86 (3.1.1u? whatever is in the std. release load for FreeBSD) on an et3000 server (SVGA). I'm losing memory fast ;). I leave xdm running, and any time it's up more than a few hours, I lose 10% to 50% of my swap space/ram (making an ls require a swap, which is rediculous on that system.) I'm assuming it's the X server, as a ps-aux picks it all up. Killing the X Server fixes all, but I'd rather be able to leave myself logged into X the entire time than log in and out all the time to reset the X server. Is there a bug release -- we've used the SVGA server on other video cards without this problem; is this et3k specifc? Thanks..
