[Bug 569838] Re: huge memory leak using radeon os driver when KMS is disabled

[Timo Aaltonen]

It's not really eating your memory, just reflects the pixmap memory
cached by the server, so not really a bug. And KMS is the preferred way
to run ATI graphics anyway.

Title:
  huge memory leak using radeon os driver when KMS is disabled

Status in “libdrm” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: libdrm-radeon1

  Hi,

  When I disable KMS Xorg's memory usage raises up to 165MB! It usually
  doesn't get lower after closing running applications. I suppose it can
  be memory leak in the libdrm-radeon1 package, because when I enable
  KMS (so libdrm2 is used) Xorg memory usage is normal - less then 50MB
  and it gets lower when I close running applications. I have a Radeon
  X1600XT card and I am using Kubuntu Lucid and have Kwin effects
  enabled.
