Comment 67 for bug 565981

Petar,

You clearly implied that I was misinterpreting my results in the first sentence of comment #37. In comment #59, I acknowledged that your system appears not to have the same memory leak issue; as I said, your allocation increases /and/ decreases, unlike my own. I asked for evidence simply because I was concerned that some people may have prematurely reported the bug as fixed (thankfully however, it seems that my issue is a corner-case). I am not interested in an argument, so don't try to create a mountain out of a molehill.

Regardless, in light of the 1.8 server being uploaded to xorg-edgers (version 2:1.8.0+git20100422+server-1.8-branch.5455df65-0ubuntu0sarvatt2), I gave the newest packages another try.

Unfortunately, compiz stilI freezes on my system with the 1.8 server. Although I'm not sure if it matters, considering that the leak in this report is related to GLX/OpenGL, I did enable metacity compositing (which uses XRender), and after 5 hours uptime I can see the "object bytes" allocation remaining stable at ~43MB. The system is very responsive, and closing applications has the expected effect of decreasing the GEM allocation.
