There are very serious and severe memory leaks under X.org with the savage
driver. I am on FreeBSD. This is a very serious problem as it consumes all
system memory adn causes other applications to crash. It is totally unuseable
and intolerable and is simply shoddy and sloppy programming. I know for a fact
XFree86 did not leak memory like this, XFree86 started at about 25 MB and
stayed there. What is going on here? Every since the X.org project was started
the quality of X distribution has plummeted drastically.
At the same time important backwards compatability upon which many of our
applications depend, have been removed including PEX, Ximage, MIT-SUNDRY,
XFree86-Misc, among others creating a massive incompatability headache. A prime
principle of the X.org project should be to retain backwards compatability so
that older applications may still run. Stop destroying backwards compatability
and get around to fixing the memory leaks for god sake. X.org also seems to be
intent on locking itself out of the embedded/cell market by removing support
for low depth displays. I am throughly dismayed and disgusted with X.org.
