FWIW, I have Kubuntu 14.10 with an AMD 5770 video card. If i use the
fglrx or fglrx-updates drivers, reboot, within 6 hours my 8GB RAM is
used up and swap is thrashing.
If i switch back to the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver, reboot, then apt-
get --purge autoremove, then reboot again... memory use is fine. I've
been on for about 6 hours now and use is just under 1GB according to
ksysguard.
Of course now I cannot play Steam games like TeamFortress 2, which works
great if I'm using the fglrx-updates driver. But it's a real pain using
that driver and having to reboot every 4 hours.
