I would think that you could manually create a ramdisk and format it with FAT and then install a DOS swapfile to this filesystem.

Or maybe even format it directly as a linux swap partition and then activate it.

But since you will be robbing peter to pay paul, I don't know if it will solve your problem.

There are reports of a "memory leak" with using the XVesa server and the Fluxbox window manager.

Maybe you could try booting with:

fb800x600

or instead boot normally and then simply exit back to console (CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE)

and type:

xsetup.sh

and choose xfbdev server

then type

startx

and see if the overnight lockups go away.
