Description of problem: I got a AMD 6670 with the machine running with Cauldron. After some update, the X eats up the memory as time goes. I had witnessed it ate up 3G of the memory. Another phenomena is that after the memory usage goes beyond 400MB, then X would use up one of my CPU's core. The CPU would spend the whole core on X doing some I got no idea. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): x11-server 1.12.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Got a computer with AMD r600+ 2. Boot it up with the Cauldron 3. Leave it there for some time, the memory usage would increase.

The file /var/log/Xorg.0.log is more relevant for such a problem I think. Do you have radeon-firmware from non-free installed?

radeon-firmware is installed on my system
Ping? Any other information needed? This is really bugging me, when X used memory more than 350MB( I just discover the edge), the whole system becomes very slow.
You could try to use the open source "radeon" driver instead of fglrx.
I got the same result for both driver. So I believe that's not limited to radeon or fglrx.
Seems fixed in the update.
