Hi,
Just read this article:
"ATI's New Drivers: Did The Paradise Come?" - http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...item=914&num=1
He mentioned the latest fglrx leaking memory, so I tested this myself, and boy was he right. I've got 2GB of memory and don't do much OpenGL, so I hadn't noticed. But now I know I can forget OpenGL altogether with this driver .. unless anyone knows of a work-around ?
The leaking rate is somehow connected to FPS/ticks, and it seems to occur in every OpenGL-app I've tried. If I run fgl_glxgears and size down the window, the FPS increases, and so does the memory leaking rate. This little app now uses over 400MiB RSS, and it has only been spinning for a couple of minutes. Wow..
Guess it's back to 8.40.4 for me, this problem is definitely a showstopper .
Just for the reference: I've got an ATI X1400 on a Lenovo Thinkpad Z61m.
