xorg memory leak?

[quokka]

And after restarting X:

 4887 root      16   0  234m  66m 6656 S    0  3.3   0:13.50 Xorg

with the same applications running.

Same here... Xorg is using 600 MB of VIRT, 108 MB of RES and 10MB of SHR. When I open an application (even when I open the Gnome Main Menu) it swaps for a while, although I have no others applications open.
My specs:

• 1GB total memory
• Beryl 0.3.0
• Gnome 2.18.1
• Ubuntu Feisty 7.04
• X server V 7.2.0 (Release 22 jan 2007)
• Kernel 2.6.20-16

From the Gentoo forums:

It seems that there are 2 bugs that are potentially responsible

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10009

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171396

When I have time, I'll have a go at patching and compiing X and installing it somewhere harmless.

Looks like they got a fix:

Can we get it too?

[pingpongboss]

a bunch of them said they got it fixed with that patch. any way we can get our hands on it?

[the_maassk]

Either its already fixed for people out here (except for me!), or no one has a clue to the fix yet.

Help....

Bump..!

I use Gnome in Fiesty and I don't think I have any problem? This is what top shows:
5295 root 15 0 139m 123m 13m S 3 6.1 183:26.08 Xorg

and my system has been up for:
08:48:33 up 4 days, 23:28, 4 users, load average: 1.31, 1.07, 0.58

it's already been reported as a bug and FIXED per this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ver/+bug/92882

That may be so, but X still leaks badly on my machine. I would be interested to hear if anybody has this problem and are not running Nvidia driver and/or Xinerama.

I'm having this problem and i have an Intel i810 display driver (with 915resolution installed that allows using wide-screen resolution)

This does not look right - does it? If not, the leak is still there.

Please, anybody?
