Comment 29 for bug 599425

FWIW: I've been running 12 maximized windows the last hour without any resource problems using the Nouveau drivers from xorg-edgers PPA, so what I'm seeing could be a Nvidia BLOB related problem. On the other hand, I'm not getting "the real deal" with those drivers*, so it could also just be coincidence.

*) The launcher is garbled, some top panel items are missing, and the desktop area shows artifacts every once in a while (see screenshot). Plus, I cannot go above the 1024*768 resolution because my monitor's EDID is broken and Nouveau doesn't support external EDID (but that's another story :-)).
