Description
I've got a T6963-based 240x64 display. Everything working fine, except that lcd4linux (and a lot of other processes) gets shot by oom-killer after a few hours. My original config included a large number of static icons (a 72x24px logo in the corner as well as some single icons used in the data display.
I was playing around with the config to see if I could make the leak go away by removing some of the widgets (I suspected some of the plugins at first). It turned out that the only thing that would make it stable was: Remove every single icon. Even with only one icon left on the screen, you can have top running and watch lcd4linux climb the memory column.
