After switching back to xserver-xorg-video-ati, X is using much less
memory:
$ ps aux | grep /usr/bin/X

I had the same problem after switching from the xserver-xorg-video-ati
driver to fglrx and then back to xserver-xorg-video-ati after
experiencing a memory leak:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1354350
The problem was the fglrx package installs this file:
Same problem with Xubuntu 14.04.3. I switched back to the xserver-xorg-
video-ati driver to see if it fixes the problem.
This was while I was still using fglrx:
$ ps aux | grep /usr/bin/X
root 1470 0.7 24.3 4415808 1973744 tty7 Ss+ Sep04 65:07 /usr/bin/X
-core :0 -seat seat0 -auth
The easiest way to fix this without installing extra packages (like
cheese), is:
1. Downgrade the parts of the enablement stack that caused the problem
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends xserver-xorg libgl1-mesa-glx
libegl1-mesa-drivers
2. (Optional) Clean up extra packages
sudo apt-get
Marking as Incomplete since Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 are no longer
supported and no reports that it affects currently supported versions.
** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu)
Status: New = Incomplete

Is there any way I can request this bug to be closed? It's for a version
of Ubuntu that's no longer supported (10.10), and I didn't have this
problem in 10.04 LTS or 12.04 LTS.
