Description Hannes Janetzek 2009-06-13 07:10:53 UTC 
The enlightenment 0.17  wm does update the mouse cursor image for its idle animation on every frame which worked without problems until now. With xserver 1.6 X's memory usage grows exactly with the pixmaps size used for the cursor when idle: e.g. 32*32*24*60fps = 1.4MB/minute. So that I had to restart X every day, until I turned of that cursor animation.
Comment 1 Hannes Janetzek 2009-06-13 07:14:40 UTC 
oh sorry, i saw my calculations were wrong. still it's around +1MB resource usage per minute when x is idle and the cursor animation is active.

I tested and this was fixed in xorg-server 1.7.1.901. Many thanks, especially as this affected me, too :-).

I think it was from: "Rami Ylimaki (1):
     dix: Fixes a memory leak when a cursor resource is released."

Thanks,
Teran
