I can confirm this on a hp dv2000 laptop with an nvidia geforce 7200 (128MB) card with gutsy and nvidia-glx-new (100.14.19).
compiz.real hogs all my memory (1GB) in a couple of hours when having several windows open and, for instance, surfing the web. Closing the windows doesn't free the memory, it is only freed by stopping or restarting compiz. I don't know if this is caused by the new "GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap out-of-memory"- handling in the newest nvidia driver, which fixed the black window bug. In my understanding, the black window bug was caused by the graphics card running out of memory. Even if the nvidia driver was borrowing memory from the system, the amount seems a bit unreasonable, 800MB for some 8 windows. If there is any information that might be helpful I'll gladly post it. -- memory leak in compiz w/ nvidia [gutsy] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151168 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
