Description Joel Cunningham 2007-02-09 05:38:40 UTC

Since I have upgrade to xorg-7.2, X has been eating up memory the longer I run it.  
I started a thread on the Gentoo Forums and others said they are experiencing the same thing, but it didn't really uncover anything about the cause of the problem.  I have documented more details in the thread post about actual ram usage and such.

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-537634-highlight-.html

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start X server, 1.2.0 (7.2)
2.Leave it running
3.Check top to see how much memory it eat

Actual Results:  
After about 15 hours of usage, it's using 150MB and when I let my PC stay on overnight, the X usage increases even more, even though I'm not really doing anything with X.

Please don't refer to forums.g.o. with bug descriptions. Post all relevant info here, including emerge --info output, and reopen then.

Sorry, it wasn't showing up under the my bugs link so I thought it was deleted.
