2009-10-10 03:55:33 Bryce Harrington description Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel Over a period of a few days, my desktop runs out of memory. "top" sorted by memory usage shows xorg as the biggest, and growing, consumer of memory is xorg. Memory usage increases when we switch users, "sudo cat /proc/<pid>/status | grep VmPeak" grows by 50MB each switch-plus-switch-back. Opening windows seems to increase usage too. The more complex the application (firefox vs gnome-terminal), the more memory consumed. When no new windows are created, memory consumption seems stable. This only seems to affect the first X session. Starting more applications on the second user doesn't seem to affect memory consumption. As far as I can tell, this is independent of the use of desktop effects. Logging off reclaims memory. Killing applications does not reclaim memory. Lastly, I notice that using "sudo pmap -d `pgrep X`" shows more (and increasing) lines like: 00007f034b77c000 4 rw-s- 0000000000000000 000:00009 drm mm object (deleted) The increase in the number of these lines (thousands) correlates to an increase in memory usage. My guess is that this is the source of memory leaks Drivers and software are all from the standard repos ('cept medibuntu). I did try the latest stable intel video driver from PPA, but it broke badly.
