Same here, trusty and fglrx, eventually xorg eats up 3.5 gb of RAM and I have to restart. Otherwise it will eventually lock up the entire system (can't alt-ctrl out to a terminal). However I can still ssh into the machine, but xorg refuses to be killed.
xrestop doesn't show anything with more than 35MB of pixmaps, maybe 80MB total. X seems to leak memory when using graphically intense programs (e.g. a game that uses hardware acceleration). I compiled the latest fglrx driver from AMD (ahead of the repository fglrx) and the same thing happens. This all did not happen before the upgrade to trusty... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314787 Title: Memory leak To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1314787/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
