@ svaens Sorry if I wasn't clear. Using fglrx, regardless of the x-server package, lead to a memory leak. The only configuration without a memory leak was disabling the proprietary drivers and using the open source radeon driver (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver) with 2D graphics only.
Also, the poor performance I mentioned was slow opening windows. Not just unminimizing, but also initial loading. Just for interests sake, I downloaded the latest driver from the ATI site and installed it and have all the same issues with the memory leak and slow window opening. I am now using it with the backclear patch and after 40 min up-time my memory is at 27%, where normal is 16% with firefox open. I just started and exited Paraview and my memory dropped to the appropriate 16%...
