Maybe you could check if it necessary to have the external monitor to reproduce the bug?
It seems that you have been doing a good job in documenting this. Would you mind reporting this upstream? http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html ** Summary changed: - Running Out of Memory with UXA + [i945] Running Out of Memory with UXA (KMS) ** Tags added: 945gm ** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel I have tested the Kernel Modesetting with my intel 945GM. I'me running jaunty and followed that guide: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting When I run compiz, the cached memory grows continuously until the system becomes unusable. I suspect this to be a memory leak. I've found that this is related to UXA, KMS used or not, and happens with all the driver versions I have tested: -- The official Jaunty 2.6.1 -- The 2.7.0 from ubuntu-x-swat -- The 2.7.99 from xorg-edgers This doesn't happen when using EXA or without compiz. To reproduce: Do some window open/close/resize/… I use this bash line: while true; do firefox & sleep 3; pkill firefox; done You could see the cached memory grow quickly and about one minute after I'm out of memory (on 1GB). I'm available for any test.
