Known memory leaks in Xorg 6.8.1?

Hello,

I'm wondering if there are known memory leaks in Xorg 6.8.1?
What happens is that we are running Kylix 3 based GUI fullscreen
without any window manager, the GUI updated with graphics every
second. After continuous operation for 3-4 days X process occupies 80%
of available ram according to "top" and whole thing is unusable.

We are using "vesa" driver since "savage" creates flickering on the
screen. I really would like to know if there is any way to check which
part of X makes a memory leak...

One of the things that I also need to address is that the X screen
blanks after some time (20 min or so) even though DPMS is disabled
(not enabled anywhere in Xorg). How do I explicitly disable DPMS
blanking the screen?

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,
Sergei
