Xubuntu 14.10 x64 on an Aspire One 722 (4go RAM - AMD series C-60). As you say earlier, it's quite frustrating indeed : it's clearly related to fglrx and xorg in some point, but I think it's not related to kernel : this netbook had a fresh install not so long ago and so, started with a 3.16 kernel (or close, can't remember). I had the problem before the reinstall, and after. Go figure. Maybe trying another distro (i was thinking archlinux) would provide some insight, but if it was not for this damned memory leak, I would have been quite happy with my xubuntu right now :/

After upgrade I found the PC slows down soon even without apps running on it. When checking with system monitor I found all the physical memory was full and the swap file was in use (which never happened with 13.10). I restarted the PC and left it alone. After six hours memory consumption of xorg went from original 250MB to 1,3GB. I guess there is a memory leak in the process.
