Some more info to diagnose this: I think it is basically some kind of memory leak. With the fglrx drivers, my system uses up more and more RAM. On this 3 Gb machine, by the end of a 1 or 2 days, I have no free RAM left, and the X server process can often be using well over 1 Gb RAM.
Sometimes the reported behaviour (swapping everything out to disk) can occur even without suspending and resuming. Having switched back to the open source driver (mainly to get support for multiple monitors or output to projectors), I've had no such problems. I've had my computer on for 5 days, just suspending and resuming overnight, and by RAM has plateaued at something sensible given the number of applications I've got open, with over 1 Gb completely free. So basically, at the moment with ATI cards you have the choice between: fglrx: memory leaks, broken suspend, broken support for multiple outputs open source driver: no OpenGL/3D acceleration. -- Everything gets swapped out after resume from suspend using fglrx drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/391628 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
