Wine X11 Memory Leak

Post by Thaodan »

I'm having the issue that Wine causes that Xorg uses much memory.
When I close the application that uses wine and when wine is closed the memory that Xorg uses is not reduced.

Info:
Application: World of Warcraft (5.2)
Wine version: 1.5.25
Distrubtion: Arch Linux
Arch: x86_64
GPU: Nvidia Geforce 580GTX
Driver Version: 313.26

Hi,

you could try to update your X server, if Arch offers a more recent version. Run from command line and post terminal output. Make sure, that all wine related processes actually get terminated, e.g. by issuing a command like "wineserver -k".

If the issue persists, you'd have to file a bug either in wine's bugzilla or at X.org.
