Bug#673349: xserver-xorg: Memory leak in process /usr/bin/X
I'm still experiencing this bug. I've offered to diagnose it by running valgrind but I don't know how to start kdm under valgrind. Yasir Yasir Assam (18/05/2012): Over the last week or so I've noticed that /usr/bin/X uses loads of memory, i.e. $ ps aux | grep X root 1558 1.7 74.5 3459428 1535756 tty7 Ssl+ 08:46 1:10 /usr/bin/X :0 vt7 -br -nolisten tcp -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-zFHYma After about an hour of use, it's using around 1.5G. I get to this point by running KDE, emacs, Konsole and Chromium. If I quit emacs, Konsole and Chromium, X still uses loads of memory. Within a couple of hours my system grinds to a halt and I have to restart X (by restarting kdm) Wild guess, one of your virtualbox devices (input or video) is doing that?

I'm experiencing this same issue for the last week in Debian unstable and I'm not using it on VirtualBox, but on a real PC with nvidia graphics card. I'm also using KDE. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#673349: xserver-xorg: Memory leak in process /usr/bin/X
Thank you for your help. I can't find any relevant bug reports for vbox. Excuse my ignorance, but how do I run Xorg under valgrind? I normally run X via kdm, e.g. # invoke-rc.d kdm start Yasir Yasir Assam (18/05/2012): How can I determine if that's the case? You could try running the same things on another machine with a similar setup, but with non-vbox drivers. Alternatively, you could try running Xorg under valgrind and see whether leaks are happening. You're going to need patience, since things will be dog-slow. Maybe better to check whether there are already bug reports against virtualbox talking about memory leaks.
