Dear All,

How does one start an X server so that it doesn't run out of memory when
several applications are running simultaneously?  My X seems to grow to
16-18 MB and then starts refusing new clients.  I'm using XFree86, version
3.1.2 in 65536 color mode with fvwm2-95.  I try to 'ulimit' before running
'xinit', but it doesn't seem to solve the problem.  My system has 64 MB of
RAM and 380 MB of swap (under NetBSD 1.2).

Any help greatly appreciated,

  -jm
