I have following problems with X-Servern on different machines. I try to
load a number of pixmaps (or bitmaps), so that I can display them in
realtime (this means 25 pictures per second). After a special number I have
problems with allocation memory for the pixmaps, but there is enough space
in main-memory or swap-area. Where are the pixmaps ?

I have tested different machines with this problems. Trying this on a
SUN-4-Sparcstation with 32MB main-memory and 128MB swap, I can load up to
20 MB (this is the sum over all pixmaps). On a VAX 3000 with 8MB main-memory
and 60MB swap, I can load up to 10 MB. But on an ESV30 with 32MB main-memory
and 128MB swap, after nearly 4MB I get memory failed.

If somebody could help me please contact me.
