What does this mean? I know the WindowServer handles application
windows and is a parent process to all user apps. But what am I to
make of this, if anything?
The window system tries to keep window buffers and hardware in a
reserved address range. When a request is made for a new window, and
it won't fit in that address range, the message is logged once. On the
version you are running, when an allocation succeeds, the message
logging is re-enabled, and when a buffer cannot be allocated in the
reserved range, the message is logged again.
When buffers cannot be allocated in the reserved range, they are
allocated starting at the lowest free memory address that will hold
them. There are a few software tools that, when accounting for memory
use, assume that all memory in that reserved range is window storage.
The message simply indicates that the combination of hardware and
window buffers in use needs to use storage outside the reserved range.
