Since when xorg 7 became stable, it found some problems with stability of my graphic session. I wrote some times ago but nothing helped to solve this strange situation... The problem is that the X process starts to eat all available memory (first RAM and after swap) until that to kill everything (first applications and after keyboard and kernel). Until same days ago all my trials gave no solution. That was the same with KDE and blackbox graphic environment. I restarted X server each 5-6 hours and put free memory again (and that system worked) Same 2 days my session run stable without new restart. I think that a found the problem: firefox-bin. If I use that program (to use flash website) and I forget it open, X process starts to eat the memory; if I close it the problem diseappear and very slowly it releases the memory. Someone notice a similar problem? It is a bug? Where I must send it? As xorg or firefox-bin bug? I run a stable system (xorg-7.1). Each piece of advice is welcome.
