XOrg Memory Leak - OpenSuse 11.4 64bit
 
Hello to all.
Got memory leak on OpenSuse 11.4 64 bit version.
Here is an output for 5 days of standard usage:

XOrg: 29436K / 75625K / 241952K / 313420K / 371412K
Plasma desktop: 29788K / 81688K / 88208K / 89252K /93828K
Kwin: 31188K / 36984K / 37708K /50812K / 58028K

Even if I do nothing allocated memory gets bigger.

I'm using NVidia drivers provided via Yast repositories.

Anyone has hint or solution? When I logout or restart system memory usage drops, but after 3 - 4 days it gets too slow to work with, even with 8GB RAM on 6 core CPU.

These processes listed, after 3 days, are the top memory consumers.

Thank you for any hint or answer, and thanks to designator for hint about this new thread.

You should always open a new thread for your own question...especially after you've posted in a thread that's been closed for THREE YEARS.

First thing I'd suggest would be to use the nVidia drivers from the nVidia website, and see if that makes a difference. I'd also try to make sure you log out each day.

Confirming Xorg memory leak
 
I can confirm the memory leak in Xorg on openSUSE 10.4 64-bit with the proprietary NVidia drivers in use. My system is a HP Z600 workstation (Xeon machine) with 6GB of RAM. After a few days the machine becomes unusably slow and an Xorg restart or sometimes even a reboot is necessary.

As for any thought on a solution, or even where to start looking ... none yet.

Xorg using 1.2 GB
 
I'm still faced with this issue from day to day and thought I'd post a small update. My current Xorg memory usage (via top):

Yes, that's 1.2 GB going to Xorg.

I still have no idea why and I'm currently looking into ways to start diagnosing the problem.

This might help, the output of htop:
