[mythtv-users] [OT] X memory usage

HI!

After running for some weeks, X uses 280 MB of swap space here.

pmap shows, that most of the memory consumption of X is 2x 128 MB mapped 
for /dev/nvidia0.

So, if this memory is mapped (I guess for access to the graphics card 
memory), then why can it be swapped out and why does it consume swap 
space at all?

Using Fecora Core 1. But I have seen the same on Suse.

Any hints/pointers?

Thanks!

Thomas
