There're 2 mails which didn't get yet into the ML because they contain a screenshot, and mailman complained about a suspiciously big size, and sent them to moderation. The TL;DR is that Xorg takes 100GB, however xresttop shows only a few dozens of MBs. Per my understanding this means that Xorg does not hold a memory allocated for some client, but rather have an actual memory leak. So I recommended trying latest Xorg, and reporting a bug if it doesn't help. _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
