Could anyone tell me how can i pinpoint cause of a massive memory leak
caused by X window system?? Right now it uses 1GB of physical memory and
Virtual Memory has a size 1.6GB.How come??

What brings you to the conclusion that you have a memory leak? Based
on what you stated? (I don’t think that’s a good criteria if you have no
further information than that one snapshot statement). Still, from
where do you get those numbers, and what is wrong with the Virtual
Memory allocation ?
As i can see Virtual Memory is nothing but X Window System taking 1GB of
memory??? It normally takes about (don’t remember right now) max 60 or
70MB. So 1011 MB exactly is quite too much isn’t it??

a memory leak.
Where do you get your numbers from ? Maybe by posting that, someone
can chip in on this thread and explain away what I believe is some
misunderstanding.

While this is a great article it doesn’t explain why normally X takes
about 60 MB of memory (i can see that because cached memory etc. takes
up to 7GB of memory) while now it is only 5.7GB being blocked by that
1GB used by X (which in normal cirsumstances takes as i said no more
than 60MB so there MUST be something wrong, what am i talking to
myself?) You try to convince me that I am wrong not the system which in
Your mind is so perfect that it is so hard to admit that something is
wrong.

Code:

i do think you are really bold in insisting everybody is wrong but you
are right, i am pretty much convinced X has no memory leak in
xorg-server 1.5.x, at least not in the way you seem to experience.
