Hmm. There's a 128M aperture of... something... at 0x48000000, according to the PCI scan, but I can't tell what it belongs to.

(In reply to comment #10) > so its just the AGP aperture, nothing to worry about as it isn't backed by > actual memory. Aren't there page table entries created for that area? Doesn't that add to the kernel memory usage? I don't think there should be anything allocated by the kernel to back that area until something is actually page faulted in or put there so I don't think there should be page table entries covering it, just a vma for the mapping from X, so I'm going to go with no, btw if you can decrease the AGP aperture in your BIOS you might try that and compare the memory usage somehow, but this isn't something we are really going to go fixing. If it is wasting memory it is wasting a small amount of it relative to the amount of work needed to fix it in the drivers.... |
I just installed F7 on an older box and then run yum update. Looking at the output of top right after startin X11: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 2249 root 15 0 150m 15m 5880 S 2.6 4.2 0:50.59 Xorg Xorg uses too much memory. The graphics card on the system is S3 Inc. Savage 4 with (I think) 8MB video RAM, so all that memory is not the framebuffer mmap. pmap says this: afd44000 131072 - - - rw-s- mem b7d44000 512 - - - rw-s- mem b7dc4000 256 - - - rw-s- mem b7e04000 128 - - - rw-s- mem b7e24000 980 - - - rw--- [ anon ] bfe2a000 84 - - - rw--- [ stack ] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I don't have F7 installed on another system, so I cannot compare the size of Xorg on a different machine.
