Title:
   Xorg memory leak on 14.04

Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Same kind of issue as :  "Xorg memory leak on trusty"
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-
  intel/+bug/1272338

  After browsing a lot (Firefox 31,  Opera 12), after more than 10 hours Xorg uses over 1 GB (some times up to 2 GB). I have 8 GB RAM.
  It seems to me that the system monitor increase the memory leak.

  I'm on Linux Mint 17 (64 bits Cinnamon).
  APU AMD Athlon 5350 (+ driver AMD Catalyst 14.4).
