I have almost the same problem. Xorg eats a lot memory after some work with firefox and especially with ANSYS (OpenGL graphics, motif-based GUI for 3D modeling). It can consume more than 1 Gb memory and the memory is not released after closing all applications, xrestop shows no information. According to it memory consumption is about 10 Mb.
I have NVIDIA 7300 GT with non-free driver, AMD64 version of Ubuntu 9.04 running on Athlon 64 X2 4400 with 2Gb of RAM. The bug is annoying because I have to restart Xorg every time I want to start calculation in ANSYS to free some memory (ANSYS consumes about 1 Gb itself plus Xorg with 1Gb and I have no memory left for calculations). -- memory leak in something https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/376802 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
