X and Fluxbox :: Xvesa memory leak



Yup, I've got an old Toshiba laptop running Xvesa and fluxbox.

I'm sitting here watching 'top' output and running

watch -n 60 pmap <Xvesa_pid> | grep -w total

and see relentless increase in the amount of RAM this process is using.

The version of Xvesa I have is dated Jun 14 2004 with size 640504

md5sum `which Xvesa` shows
19bc88c5971a2637e805ba0aa04eb681

Does a newer version of this exist without the memory leak?

Otherwise, how might I provide better debug output for those interested parties?

Interesting... looks like every 3 to 4 minutes it takes exactly an additional 128K...
I had noticed a similar thing a while back, thats why I switched to the Xfbdev server instead.
hmmm... I tried to use Xfbdev but my mouse wouldn't work... I might have to load XFree86 in a custom remaster...


Edit:
Doh!! Nevermind, I made the stupid mistake, thought I had USB mouse on this system :P
