Hi,
I'm using F23-x86_64 on a Dell E6430 latitude laptop with NVIDIA adapter. Sometime in
the last 2 weeks, a software update that got auto-installed is resulting in very slow
screen unlocks. The screen lock itself is quick (no paging). But when I press a key on the
keyboard or move the mouse, there is heavy paging activity on the laptop and it take 3-4
minutes for the password screen to appear. This happens 8 out of 10 times.
vmstat shows free mem drop dramatically from 5G to 46M during the unlock. The RSS size of
Xorg grows from 49M to 7G!
The only workaround right now for me is to use wayland, where this problem does not occur.
If anyone needs, I have detailed output from vmstat and another script that I wrote to see
Xorg's RSS size grow. In case anyone has a workaround for Xorg server, please let me
know. Should I be filing a bug for this ?
Best,
Kapil
This is my adapter:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF108GLM [NVS 5200M]
[10de:0dfc] (rev a1)
