2009-04-19 22:39:49 e.s.t description tested in Ubuntu 9.04 beta x86_64 and in Kubuntu beta 9.04 i386. After fresh install, the first thing I usually do is to enable restricted drivers for my ATI 3450. After automatic installation and reboot, everything is ok, except that Xorg process in system monitor uses about 80MB of RAM, and despite everything, memory usage of Xorg is growing with time. After 2h, in system monitor Xorg process was taking something about 1,2GB of RAM. Then I installed Kubuntu (this time i386), and after enabling restricted driver for ATI, problem was the same, it looks like Xorg memory usage grows to unlimited. The problem did NOT occurred while un-installing restricted ATI dirver and replacing it with standard open driver for ati. Xorg memory usage is then constant during hours of usage (ate the level of 60 - 80 MB).
