How did you install the AMD driver?  Did you build the packages or use
the "update drives" app, or use the:

sh ./drivername.run

method.

For me only building the packages for my distro worked.  The method is
in my post.

Title:
  Memory leak

Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I upgraded my PC from Ubuntu 13.10 to 14.04 (released one). After
  upgrade I found the PC slows down soon even without apps running on
  it. When checking with system monitor I found all the physical memory
  was full and the swap file was in use (which never happened with
  13.10). I restarted the PC and left it alone. After six hours memory
  consumption of xorg went from original 250MB to 1,3GB. I guess there
  is a memory leak in the process.
