Hello,
I am using mplayer with the gl2 backand and sometimes I encouter
damaged videos. It seems X then allocates a lot of memory (maybe
mplayer uploads textures without end, but shouldn't this fail
somewhere instead of eating all memory?)
This is my "top" output:
2665 root 15 0 1539m 854m 9972 S 0 42.3 12:26.55 Xorg
This is my "xrestop" output:
Monitoring 19 clients. XErrors: 0
Pixmaps: 5931K total, Other: 105K total, All: 6037K total
Killing mplayer with "killall -9 gmplayer" does not free the occupied
resources, nor does killing mplayer with Cntr+Esc free it again.
I use the Xorg release distributed with FC6 (fully updated), my card
is a integrated intel-945GM, I do not use composition or AIGLX. The
laptop is "Toshiba Tecra A8".
