I have this bug with all distros I have installed, all based on ubuntu 14.04 (standard ubuntu, ubuntu with gnome, kubuntu, xubuntu and linux mint with cinnamon). I use the nvidia driver and I have noticed that all these distros have the same behaviour: xorg and the wm process are both hungry of memory. The only exception is xfce that seems to be less affected (xorg process leaks memory also with xfce, only the wm process is not eating too much ram).
I have also noticed that other distros, not ubuntu based, have similar issues and with different graphic drivers. I suspect that the problem is relevant to some generic linux graphic library and not to a specific graphic driver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1272338 Title: Xorg memory leak on trusty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-driver/+bug/1272338/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
