[Envel <envelsavinds@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have almost the same problem. Xorg eats a lot memory after some work
with firefox and especially with ANSYS (OpenGL graphics, motif-based GUI
for 3D modeling). It can consume more than 1 Gb memory and the memory is
not released after closing all applications, xrestop shows no
information. According to it memory consumption is about 10 Mb.

I have NVIDIA 7300 GT with non-free driver, AMD64 version of Ubuntu 9.04
running on Athlon 64 X2 4400 with 2Gb of RAM.

The bug is annoying because I have to restart Xorg every time I want to
start calculation in ANSYS to free some memory (ANSYS consumes about 1
Gb itself plus Xorg with 1Gb and I have no memory left for
calculations).
