Xorg Memory Leak Fix for Lucid 10.04 and Maverick 10.10 ATI Proprietary fglrx

As much as this should be fixed by now, it is not. A real and true memory leak fix does not exist and probably won’t for quite some time. However, the bash script below will free memory in X every 60 seconds when using the proprietary fglrx driver. I am not sure if the memory leak is in fglrx or X. The leaks do not exist on the open source drivers, but, who knows.

Xorg Memory Leak Fix for Jaunty 9.04 ATI Proprietary fglrx

Memory leak fixed on my sony vaio laptop with an HD3400 series. NOT completely, xorg will still leak over time (about 60mb over 8 hours and I think some of this memory is re-used for effects which will not increase the memory any further when opening, closing, etc). The change is DRASTIC compared to what I was seeing. Before this xorg would leak anywhere between 500-700mb over 4 hours of use.
