[Bug 376092] Re: Running Out of Memory with UXA

[Jonathan Michalon]

Yes I use right now the kernel from Karmic as KMS is not present in
2.6.28. The leak appears with the default kernel too but as the
performances are worst for me with UXA, I had switched back to EXA and
thought the UXA was too young for me. But KMS is only available with UXA
so I've a little more investigated and with no solution, open this bug.

I measure the cached memory with the system monitor of the gnome panel
on one side and using the "free" command on the other side. When the
memory is said filled with cache (about 800M of 1G) the swap is beeing
used.

Typically:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       1004576     962184      42392          0       3396     820128
-/+ buffers/cache:     138660     865916
Swap:      1959920     161820    1798100

That with only compiz and firefox and gajim opened (and gnome-terminal).
The "real" cache has been cleared i.e. running:
echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

Is all this answering your questions?
