[Bug 487362] [NEW] xorg is eating up memory

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

i have two Kubuntu Karmic installations, one on a desktop pc (2GB RAM, intel Core duo 6400), another on a laptop(Touchsmart Tx2 1300). I have on both the same problem that xorg process is eating up memory. 
On the pc the nvidia-driver 190.42 and on the laptop the latest stable fglrx driver.
After start up xorg uses about 35mb of RAM. Then goingly quickly up when it uses more than 1GB the pc gets slow.
