Does your video card use shared system memory? If you don't have a separate card, I would recommend it (or just get more RAM). Also, how much swap space do you have?<div><br></div><div>--Adam<br><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">

does this happen to anyone else? my main box has 1g ram, it seems<br>
generally adequate, tho thrashwaits of several seconds can happen with<br>
heavy use. after just such times my desktop background may sometimes<br>
seem suddenly to have numerous adjacent rectangles swapped, sometimes<br>
a whole array of same, quite funky to look at. then sometimes<br>
also/instead the fonts rendering firefox and/or libreoffice may be<br>
partly replaced with funky hieroglyphics. sometimes relaunching the<br>
app is sufficient, sometimes i need to relaunch X. this has happened<br>
2-3 times/month for quite awhile, hasn't gotten worse or better, i<br>
always keep natty uptodate, i remember the same happening with<br>
maverick, perhaps even earlier. could be hardware, could be software,<br>
tho if software you'd think we'd be hearing about it..? surprisingly<br>
i've not seen a single instance of data corruption tho.<br>
