Hello:
Fixed the audio problem in my new install. However, I noticed that Antix is using up about 140 M of RAM just after booting up (fluxbox; liquorix kernel).
This seems a bit high to me. Htop does not show any stray process. Any ideas? Is it because I'm running the 64 version? It's not a real concern since I have plenty or RAM. Just wondered if this is the case for others as well.
Below is my inxi -F

Iceweasel is open (2 tabs) so it's showing 282 M of RAM use.
thanks.

I think the 64 bit uses more than a 32 bit, yes, but if it is that much? maybe?
Does it use that much on the antix kernel too?

RAM usage depends on the avalaible RAM. The more You have, the more will be used. I guess 64 bit edition is a bit more resoure heavy.
Try out 'free -h' in a terminal to see, how much RAM is used as cache.

Thanks for the suggestion. Here's the output
$ free -h
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 7.6G 609M 7.0G 0B 33M 221M
-/+ buffers/cache: 354M 7.2G
Swap: 7.8G 0B 7.8G
I think it's having an issue recognizing my swap partition also.

That's about what my HP pavilion runs. about 135 mb at idle, fresh boot. 272mb with two tabs open in iceweasel, and about 142 mb idle after closing iceweasel. Its seems to settle at 142mb.
64 bit does require more ram by default than 32 bit.

I am going to say it is not 64 bit, as I am running 64 bit on my core I3 with 6 GB ram. On startup with all my applications (usb-tray, xfce4-power-manager, clipit, wicd, lxpanel, etc..... ) it consumes between 75-80 MB. With the system being brand new, I would guess that there is an issue with the older drivers not matching the hardware quite right (dispite the fact they work) and therefor not running as efficiently as they could. Maybe there are newer versions out there..... or maybe it is a matter of time newer ones to come out.

Yea, an update some times make it use less.
I dunno how different using the intel graphics driver would be to using the fbdev/vesa would be?

It maybe your runnning pulse audio, with alsa. could be a memory hog
are you just running alsa?

It's not pulse audio. The RAM use was high even when I was running just alsa. It may be that Dave is correct and it's a driver/hardware issue.

If you run ' ps -eF --headers Sw > ./proc.txt ' in a terminal, then it will create a process list named proc.txt in your home folder. Do it, when almost everything is switched off, and post it. Maybe somebody finds out where the extra memory is used.

Here's the output. It would not let me attach a text file so here's a copy. Sorry if it looks messy.
thanks.
