Description of problem: In the last few weeks I've noticed that my system run out of memory after about a day of use, I noticed when looking at gnome-system-monitor that my system which has an uptime of a mere 17h33m the Xorg process uses: 562.9MB of virtual memory 0MB of writable memory 150.1MB of resident memory 0MB of memory and rising This behavior has been presistent for a while now and it slowly renders the system unusable, for a system with 1GB of physical memory and 2GB of swap that's just not pleasant. I don't know if Xorg is really to blame but I am seeing the resident memory count for the Xorg process climb by 0.1MB every 3 mins or so which isn't encouraging. How can I help track this down? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.2.99.902-1.fc7 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot machine 2. go about your daily tasks Actual results: Notice how the system slowly gets more and more sluggish then near the end dies due to having filled a total of 3GB of memory, I imagine the swapping doesn't do wonders to performance either.
SOmething related, for me it looks like it's leaking video memory. After browsing several clips with totem it won't open others until X is restarted. Using i810.
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

I run X using the autodetection already, I haven't messed with a Xorg.conf file in years, all praises to ajax for making that go away for good.
xrestop is your friend.
I assume that means you want the output from xrestop. xrestop - Display: localhost:0 Monitoring 38 clients.

40M of client resources, and 128M of VRAM, is still nowhere near 500M. Hmm. Can you also attach the output of 'sudo pmap `pidof Xorg`' ?
The memory use has gotten better recently, it no longer grows so fast that the system becomes unusable quickly but it's still above normal levels (Currently for my desktop it's using 1½ gigs combined physical and swap). 2862: /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -br -audit 0 -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7 0000000000400000 1740K r-x-- /usr/bin/Xorg 00000000007b3000 92K rw--- /usr/bin/Xorg 00000000007ca000

ups, I should be clear the 1½ gb is for the entire system, the Xorg process is listed as using 188.9MB RSS and 630.3MB. I did a fresh test3 install just to see if it was my doing but the massive usage still manifests itself.
Please, use bugzilla's attachment feature. Inline comments are unwieldly and hard to feed to pipes. So the double-mapping of the framebuffer is pretty goofy (one 128M map of /dev/mem, and another of /dev/dri/card0). And I'm not really clear why every DSO has a 2M inaccessible mapping but I'm blaming that on glibc, plus it's just virtual space anyway. So really that leaves the 256M of malloc arena, and now that you mention it I'm not sure how xres does it's accounting.
Do I need to open a bug against glibc for the DSO issue or is the plan just to ignore it?
Yeah, just ignore it for now. It's almost certainly intentional.

One more report, btw we see this problem Solaris systems too. Here is something strange: $ pmap 3669 | sort -k2 -g| tail -10 b757a000 10240K rw-s- /dev/nvidia0 ace34000 12064K rw-s- /dev/nvidia0 b209e000 12652K rw--- [ anon ] 978da000 16632K rw-s- /dev/nvidia0 98a47000 20088K rw-s- /dev/nvidia0 09e89000 143608K rw--- [ anon ] 32cbd000 415728K rw--- [ anon ] 58d5e000 415728K rw--- [ anon ] 76f63000 415728K rw--- [ anon ] total 1584148K Why these three 415728K segments?

Forgot, this from FC8 with: $ rpm -qf /usr/bin/Xorg xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-36.fc8
Terje, we cannot take bugs from nvidia binary-only drivers. If you want us to deal with your situation, please, clean your system of the proprietary drivers (see on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Xorg/3rdPartyVideoDrivers for how to do it and some more explanation) and repost your logs using only open-source drivers, please. (of course, davidz, it has nothing to do with you or with the fate of this bug)
This doesn't appear to have happened for a while, I'm currently running xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-40.fc8. I'll reopen if the problem resurfaces.
