           Summary: runaway memory leak on i815
           Product: openSUSE 10.2
           Version: Alpha 4
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: SaX2
        AssignedTo: ms@xxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: mrmazda@xxxxxx
         QAContact: qa@xxxxxxx


Dell GX150 i815 system with onboard video using main system memory. It has also
installed working Debian Etch, Xandros 3, Knoppix 4 & Kubuntu 6.06.

Fresh install failed to start in graphics mode. Installed in text mode. On
first boot after finishing installation, attempted to run sax2, which aborted
without ever getting into any graphics mode after blinking the screen several
times trying. When I rebooted and tried again, I opened top on another console.
I checked while sax2 was running and found RAM and swap rapidly disappearing.
Eventually sax2 ended after consuming almost 2G of RAM with:

SaX: no X-Server is running
SaX: will start own server if needed

SaX: call sax2 -p and select a single device
abort
#

# sax2 -p
Chip: 0 is -> Intel I815         00:02:0 0x8086 0x1132 PCI i810

I couldn't tell from the man page which of the above is the device it wants. I
tried:

# sax2 -c i810

That too produced runaway RAM consumption.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log ends with the following (similar to bug 204324 ):
