'Couldn't agree more on the poor AMD driver set. That's also why I was
(notice the past tense) not quite convinced about it being kernel
related, since some people with both AMD and latest kernel don't share
this leak problem. Anyway, thanks for sharing your positive results with
3.14 kernel, it is worth a try, and that's what I'm doing, right now.

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.
