I have nvidia driver 340.32
linux kernel 3.16.1 and xorg 1.16.0 but this has been happening with previous versions of xorg and nvidia driver for over a year now.
When I place my computer under hibernate and resume, the memory usage in xorg server increases by 25 to 30MB each time. So three hibernate operations in a row and memory increases from 35 to 140MB.
My work requires I keep applications open and I have intermittent power outages due to summer heat so I hibernate my desktop when UPS battery goes low.
I just need to know how to troubleshoot the problem so I can tell what is at fault here.
I am also running KDE 4.14
The card is an old evga GeForce 430GT.
If I don’t hibernate, I can go over 100 hours with xorg memory usage not exceeding 45MB. Hibernating seems to be causing this.
I know some nvidia developers are active on xorg development so I would appreciate any information about how to troubleshoot and tell which component is the cause.
nvidia-bug-report.sh
nvidia-bug-report.sh will now collect information about your
system and create the file 'nvidia-bug-report.log.gz' in the current
directory. It may take several seconds to run. In some
cases, it may hang trying to capture data generated dynamically
by the Linux kernel and/or the NVIDIA kernel module. While
the bug report log file will be incomplete if this happens, it
may still contain enough data to diagnose your problem.
Please include the 'nvidia-bug-report.log.gz' log file when reporting
your bug via the NVIDIA Linux forum (see devtalk.nvidia.com)
or by sending email to 'linux-bugs@nvidia.com'.

don’t have access so not able to download https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/105616579/nvidia-bug-report.log.gz . Please attach log file to earlier post. Is the issue still reproduce if there is no any application running on the desktop? Try using latest Xorg version or latest os.
Here is a case of sudden 350+MB increase in xorg memory usage too. http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=qmyu32G7
at 12:17 or 12:18, ctrl+alt+f2 then back to xsession on ctrl+alt+f3 causes xorg memory usage to up from 30MB to 380MB.
subsequent ctrl+alt+f2 then ctrl+alt+f3 don’t cause memory spikes after the initial one.
Please take a look at this, Nvidia developers. It is a bad one.
Thank you in advance.
