Subject: Kernel <-> bitmapped memory fragmentation
Date: Mon, 5 Feb 1996 02:58:04 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19960205075804.dEqnhWGaBPTnN2iz7Y3QUUEuhR-sD_he_SNni6rTL3Q@z> (raw)
Hello All!
Ever notice (especially on small memory machines) how after a while
you can't make those 8 1/2 window as big as you used to? Or how
you were able to display that graphic before you did a move or resize
on a window? Even after you delete all the windows and re-create them
you just can't get it back unless you reboot?
Well here is a quick fix. I changed the "first" fit xalloc into a "better"
fit xalloc. In this way the xalloc memory will not become as fragmented
so when that bit device wants his "3 screens full", he can still get it
after he let it go.
