I'm using the gentoo-dev-sources(2.6.5-r1) kernel, with that DRI driver, however it also says : (II) Loading sub module "dri" (II) LoadModule: "dri" (II) Reloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a (II) UnloadModule: "dri" (EE) SIS: Failed to load module "dri" (once-only module, 0) (EE) SIS(0): Remove >Load "dri"< from the Module section of your XF86Config file Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Use X/Gnome - nothing special Actual Results: Here's top: Note the virtual size.

Duplicate As for the DRI not loading SiS DRI only ONLY works for the 300 series, you have a 330 series chipset, hence DRI is not supported in the card. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 27338 ***
Whoa! This bug is NOT closed. Please read what I said. I couldn't care less if 3D works. X should not continually ask for memory until the system dies. That is a bug. If it has to do with DRI not being supported, then it should just not load that module and display a warning. Eating all resources and killing the system is a BUG!
