My 32Mb EISA system is running out of memory. Doesn't seem normal, look at the
big (9Mb) XF86_SVGA process. My home system with only 16Mb runs ligther.
If I call a couple more apps it begins swapping (actually, it begins when top
shows 23M of Act Memory -> where is the rest to 32M), and if I close apps I
don't get the memory back.
Any ideas ?
Bernardo
