[Bug 498380] [NEW] High virtual memory usage (~350m) with radeon driver

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

top output:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND            
16569 root      20   0  343m  12m 6824 S   14  2.4   0:06.13 Xorg   

This doesn't happen with the vesa driver (I believe I get a faster
responding desktop with vesa), but vesa can't give me 1680x1050.

This is the default xorg.conf - it's all the same, I even deleted
xorg.conf for autodetection, and it loads the driver properly, but i
believe it uses way too much memory.
