[Bug 1272338] Re: Xorg memory leak on trusty

 

I am also having problems with XOrg. Memory consumption goes over 2 Gb
in a day of system uptime. Firefox is the primary application that is
running most of the time.

I am running ubuntu 12.04 . This problem started occuring before a month
or two. I suspect one of the updates broke something. I am using an
ATI/AMD Graphics card.

Title:
  Xorg memory leak on trusty

Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  After a few hours Xorg process was consuming a GB of RAM, after a day
  or so it was 2GB, now after 2 days it's over 4GB. I'd rather X wasn't
  eating all my RAM.
