why X will consume 32gb of my 32gb of ram until it swaps to death
on my desktop. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the fglrx blob

This doesn't happen with the radeon X module AFAICT. Also, I thought most OpenGL features and video output bits are supported with most cards via radeon. If you need something that's only supported under fglrx, what is that thing? Both my old laptop and my current desktop have radeon cards, but the cards were/are older. I think my desktop's got an HD4350 (r600).

Getting support out of AMD for linux seems to require an act of some
deity to fix their shite drivers.

There are usually fewer bugs in things that are open... funny, that :-)
