This is interesting... I upgraded Xorg first but left fglrx alone, and
the memory leak is MUCH less significant. I randomly had to restart
compiz after running up the memory watching full screen video, and it
reset the memory to what it had been when I first booted the computer!
So, for me, on a

Installing the ATI driver (from their site) fixes the Xorg memory leak.
Not entirely though, Xorg will still leak over time, just not as severe.
When upgrading, make sure you remove the previous version completely and
all configuration files in /etc/ati from the previous version or the
memory

Please try if this happens to you too:
- when memory grows up, open system manager;
- press CTRL+ALT+L to lock the session, then enter your password;
- back on the desktop, check system manager.
On my system, it shows that ~200MBs of memory is instantly freed.

restricted drivers (ATI) causes Xorg memory
I confirm this on my Lenovo T400, ATI mobility radeon 3400 series,
Jaunty 9.04, with Canonical's version of the proprietary driver. If I
have desktop effects enabled (I use Gnome), Xorg's memory usage goes up
without bound up to a few gigabytes per a day. Disabling desktop
effects stops this.
Specs:
Asus F3Sa, Ati hd2600, 4GB RAM
When effects are enabled, I noticed that the memory increases even if I
minimize/maximize in turn a window, with a rate of 4 MB at a type (seen in
system monitor).
When I shut the effects down, *without* changing the driver, the memory
increase stop (in my

** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #22171
Any news about this issue? Is there anyone working on it yet?
I'm experiencing the same. Xorg grows up to 1.2 gigs in few hours (ATI
HD3400). I'll try out Aisthesis's workaround but if this is an xorg
issue as QIII stated, I cannot understand how a driver reinstall may
help...

I did the same as Aisthesis and my xorg died - could not even boot up
properly. I removed the drivers, still could not boot up properly :(
I was wondering if I should wait or move on from compiz. I am using an ATI
card too.
If this is an X problem, anybody has any idea who long we have to wait?
You must have missed a step to kill xorg and stop xserver from loading.
I said this in my post that you can stop your GUI from being bootable.
Have you tried purging, rm everything from /etc/ati (just in case, but
this should be removed with purge) and reinstalling the ati-drivers

I had the same problem with an up to date Ubuntu Jaunty and a ATI Radeon HD
3870.
I did the same as Aisthesis above and downloaded the 9.4 driver from the
ati.amd.com website and installed that and it's been much better. I no
longer need to reboot everyday. (uptime 4 days)

The problem is not Linux, Ubuntu, Compiz or your video card.
I looked at www.x.org's bug reports and was directed to bugzilla.
Sorry. Forgot to CP the link.
This is a regression from an earlier Xorg bug. It was recently
reopened.

After these manipulations I was able to configure 2 monitors using ATI
