I got the leaks no matter which nvidia binary I use.. but then who knows, it could have been fixed while plasma was leaking... Meh. Anyhow after doing some testing, it does look like it only happens with nvidia's binary driver with glx and compositing enabled. Maybe nvidia will get on it asap, we'll see, I've got a thread going on the nvnews linux forums as well. Going to leave my system running nvidia without glx for a time to see if indeed plasma will leak over the long term but I'm skeptical. Especially since I'm not testing the same variables anymore, before it was always plasma with compositing of some form, now without glx, no compositing of any form is available afaik, so its not exactly a proper test. small note, compositing/argb visuals make plasma's pixmap mem use skyrocket. 18MB with no compositing on nvidia, with composting on either driver pixmap use starts at 32MB, and tops out at 130MB after a couple hours with nv+xrender. -- Thomas Fjellstrom tfjellstrom@strangesoft.net _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
