I'm not entirely convinced that this particular problem should be addressed by the FreeBSD hackers rather than nVidia guys themselves. Did you try to report it on their official forum? https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/97/freebsd/ (In reply to rozhuk.im from comment #0) > Then slim launch xorg it consume 6 GB with x11/nvidia-driver and 3 GB with > x11/nvidia-driver-340. Do you still experience this with the latest drivers' versions? Also note that just the difference in the initial allocated memory does not necessarily implies that memory is/will be leaking. Did you observe how these numbers change with time? Due to closed-source, binary-only nature of nVidia drivers, we can't too much here I'm afraid. Please reopen if you can get and provide evidence that the actual leak, may it be caused by the driver, happens in the open-source parts of the graphics stack where we could fix them. As of right now, this PR is not really actionable. |
