Xorg memory leak

[Indra Polak]

I had this problem when using Ubuntu breezy (xorg growed to some 4xx Mb
of my 1Gb total), 
but I upgraded to dapper today and look: 
  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
4299 root      15   0 78016  48m  11m S  3.7  4.8   6:43.77 Xorg

Only 48m!

For me this is a factor 10 improvement. I also think I have a much more
responsive desktop (Gnome, with Brushed theme).

I must also congratulate Ubuntu (or Debian) for the nearly painless
upgrade procedure.

The only thing that is not working anymore is my sound-card. For some
reason the proper module was not loaded after the 
upgrade reboot. 

After loading the module and editing /etc/modules, that was fixed.
 
But the mixer settings are not read in at reboot, (or they fail) so I
will have to fix that also.
It appears there have been some changes in that area which have
interfered with my 
setup.

Happy ubunting,

Indra Polak
