[Bug 861775] [NEW] Xserver-xorg eats all memory and swap

 

Public bug reported:

Oneirc beta amd64, packages today 09/28

When clicking some apps like vlc, xorg claims all ram and swap. The desktop turns to a still image, video stops, sounds stops, the harddisk led lights continuesly. This is the same effect as in 826504, but not in the intel driver. It took around 15min when the mouse can be moved again, but nothing is clickable anymore. The system must be shutted down by power cord or reset key.
