I think this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx- installer/+bug/351186?comments=all, is very similar and has the same cause of the problem.
** Description changed: tested in Ubuntu 9.04 beta x86_64 and in Kubuntu beta 9.04 i386. After fresh install, the first thing I usually do is to enable restricted drivers for my ATI 3450. After automatic installation and reboot, everything is ok, except that Xorg process in system monitor uses about 80MB of RAM, and despite everything, memory usage of Xorg is growing with time. After 2h, in system monitor Xorg process was taking something about 1,2GB of RAM. Then I installed Kubuntu (this time i386), and after enabling restricted driver for ATI, problem was the same, it looks like Xorg memory usage grows to unlimited. The problem did NOT occurred while un-installing restricted ATI dirver and replacing it with standard open driver for ati. Xorg memory usage was then constant during hours of usage (at about 60 - 80 MB). + Update: Also see here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx- + installer/+bug/351186 (slow unminimizing with ati card and desktop + effects enabled). + My specs: Asus ATI Radeon 3450 256MB PCI Ex Intel Core 2 Duo 7400 Gigabyte E-P45 DS3LR Kingston Hyper X (800) 2GB DRAM2 ** Tags added: ati fglrx proprietary radeon xorg -- restricted drivers (ATI) causes Xorg memory leakage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353800 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
