All that had their version bumped by the security fix. Have noticed something interesting. Increased Xorg memory usage here seems to be somewhat related to using Chrome/Chromium (or based upon) browser with hardware accelerations enabled in the advanced options. Each time I launch an instance it increases Xorg memory usage by ~ 30MB which is not released when the application is closed. Disabling hardware acceleration seems to eliminate that and I get very little or much slower degrading of Xorg memory usage.
I would suggest this might be worth reporting to Nvidia? https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/98/ as seems possible it is their drivers not liking the fixed Xorg as much as it could be a bug in any other part of the graphics stack. I likewise see no problem at present with intel hardware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1402551 Title: High memory usage of Xorg and kwin after Xorg security updates [nvidia] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates/+bug/1402551/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
