Thank you van, I use currently the open source radeon driver 2D (on my HD 3470 mobility) to escape the unminimize problem. It would be a shame for me to install the backclear patch and still be stuck using the 2D version because of a memory leak.
That paraview affects the memory leak like that is surely a huge clue for finding and fixing the problem! As seems the memory leak only occurs when using the fglrx driver, that should be what needs now fixing. However, I read that the fglrx driver contains both open source and proprietary code. Does that mean that, while it could be out of the open source community's hands (something for ATI to fix), if the bug originates from that 'open source part' of the driver, it could be fixable by Ubuntu developers (or indeed, anyone else) ? sean > -- > [M76] [ubuntu 9.04] slow unminimizing with ati card and desktop effects > enabled > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351186 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > -- [M76] [ubuntu 9.04] slow unminimizing with ati card and desktop effects enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351186 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
