[Bug 398181] [NEW] UXA leads to 100% swap consumption

[Arthur Schiwon]

Public bug reported:

First of all, i use the intel drivers from X Updates PPA (otherwise the
system isn't really usable with my Intel X3100) and KDE 4.3 RC packages
from backports-PPA.

Now, if I use UXA (which should be normal method) as AccelMethod, there
is a continous Swap consumption (though there is enough free RAM) until
100% of swap are used and the system eventually needs to be restarted
via power button (unless i perform a reboot before).

Further, with dual screen enabled, the wake after suspend to ram leads
to a 100% consumption instantly (but not with a single screen).

Using old EXA as AccelMethod this problem does not occur, everythings is
fine, but..

.. with KDE 4.3 i have to use UXA to get my dual screen setting working
with desktop effects. Since some desktop effects are critical for me
(e.g. present windows, desktop grid) and i really want to  use my
external monitor i am between the devil and the deep blue sea :-/

Versions:
Kubuntu Jaunty, 32 Bit
KDE 4.3 RC 1
xserver-xorg-video-intel: Version: 2:2.7.1-0ubuntu1~xup~1
xserver-xorg: 1:7.4~5ubuntu18

Graphics:
Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)

If you need more information, tell me which i should provide.
