I've observed problems on a few hosts where the integrated graphics device (e.g. Intel Kaby Lake with HD630) has no dedicated VRAM and uses normal system memory. When Firefox uses up a lot of memory, really bad things happen, for example, the screen goes blank or X restarts. On systems with dedicated video memory (e.g. NVIDIA cards) it appears that X keeps running when memory is tight and the user typically has a better opportunity to close windows. Is it possible for the kernel or Xorg to reserve a big chunk of RAM, for example, 4GB, which will only be used for video? Are there any command line options, sysctls or Xorg.conf settings to help with this?
