[mythtv-users] Possible Memory Leak?

In my configuration I was using an SIS 620 (I think it was 620) to
start.  I later upgraded to the geforce 4 MX440 with the "nv" driver and
it still did the same thing.  I don't think its video related.

Which graphic card driver do you use? I had the effect that mythfrontend

was filling up my memory when using the standard vesa driver (VGA). The 
problem disappeared when I installed the driver for my graphic card
(SiS).

I never had any memory problems with mythbackend, which is running on a 
separate machine.

Hope that helps.
