So after lots of patching I got my terminal running with no-overcommit.
X wouldn't start at all - presumably it asks for more memory than is
present and just doesn't use most of it normally.
If the patch becomes available for a recent 2.4.2-ac, I'll try it on a
larger terminal with more memory. I can still crash a 64MB diskless x
terminal by running xchat full screen (at 1152x900x16bit) - hopefully
no-overcommit will indeed cure bigger machines like this one.
I guess small-mem embedded will need to both patch X _and_ run
no-overcommit for stability.
regards,
David
