Xorg using 50% of CPU
« on: July 28, 2007, 11:30:37 AM »
For some reason, lately, my Xorg process has been using massive amounts of my CPU. 

I have no clue if I've changed anything lately or what's been done to it.

If anyone knows what could be causing this and a possible way to fix it, please help me out eh =).

Specs:
Sempron 3400+
1GB RAM (2x512)
GeForce FX 5200 Ultra
Ubuntu Feisty Fawn
and of course the usual hard drives, add on cards and stuff...

PS - If you need any more info I would be glad to get it for you.


Thanks in advance.

does restarting X help?
I think the command line is xserve -restart
Or you could just log out and then back in.
If it doesn't help, post your xorg.conf file.

I've restarted, logged out, etc multiple times and it still doesn't seem to stay down.  I'm at work right now and my machine isn't on.  I'll have someone turn it on and then I'll grab the config file and post it here.
