Hi,

after 5 hours of usage, a get these numbers (from gnome-system-monitor):

Process: /usr/X11R6/bin/X
Memory: 628MB
VM size: 628MB
Resident memory: 518MB
RSS memory: 518MB

Why is memory consuption of X server so big? My machine is very slow
(1GB RAM!). Should I buy more gigs of memory? (ugh)

Thanks, pf (FC4, latest updates)
