xorg keeps increasing memory use

[Pascal d'Hermilly]

Binary package hint: xorg

My xorg process keeps increasing in memory use.
It starts using around 20 M of memory. After a bit more than 2 hours it now uses 204 M of memory.

What files do I need to attach to help solve the problem?

After 5 hours of uptime. The Xorg process uses 423 M of memory

Hi Pascal, thank you for contributing on Ubuntu. Please take the time to provide the following information. Run and attach the output of:

$ lsb_release -a

$ apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-core

$ lspci -vvnn

Also please attach the following files:

/var/log/Xorg.0.log
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
~/.xsession-errors

Do you have any more comments? Anything you have noticed, any special configuration? Are there any steps to reproduce this? If you have more than one box, does this happen in your other ubuntu installs?

Thanks.

I've recently swtiched to the new nvidia beta driver and using twinview.
However the bugreport was filed before I did this, and it's still happening.
