[Bug 376092] Re: [i945] Running Out of Memory with UXA (KMS)

 

Maybe you could check if it necessary to have the external monitor to
reproduce the bug?

It seems that you have been doing a good job in documenting this. Would
you mind reporting this upstream?

** Summary changed:

- Running Out of Memory with UXA
+ [i945] Running Out of Memory with UXA (KMS)

** Tags added: 945gm

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
  
  I have tested the Kernel Modesetting with my intel 945GM.
  I'me running jaunty and followed that guide:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting
  
  When I run compiz, the cached memory grows continuously until the system becomes unusable. I suspect this to be a memory leak.
  I've found that this is related to UXA, KMS used or not, and happens with all the driver versions I have tested:
  -- The official Jaunty 2.6.1
  -- The 2.7.0 from ubuntu-x-swat
  -- The 2.7.99 from xorg-edgers
  
  This doesn't happen when using EXA or without compiz.
  
  To reproduce:
  Do some window open/close/resize/…
  I use this bash line:
  while true; do firefox & sleep 3; pkill firefox; done
  You could see the cached memory grow quickly and about one minute after I'm out of memory (on 1GB).
  
  I'm available for any test.
