Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
I have tested the Kernel Modesetting with my intel 945GM.
I'me running jaunty and followed that guide:
https:/
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.

@Jonathan, for all of these tests you use the 2.6.30 kernel from karmic right? If so, does the leak also repro using the jaunty kernel? Also, I'd like to know exactly how do you measure this "cached memory", i.e. what command do you run and what number are you looking at?
