[mythtv-users] Possible Memory Leak?

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.
