Same problem. Ubuntu 7.10 ATI 9600 gfx card with Ati driver installed and propriarity driver enabled. on an Intel Centrino 1.7Ghz laptop
Firefox off: Xgl uses about 0.5% - 2% cpu, Firefox on: Xgl climbs to a near 100% cpu usage. What I don't understand is that this problem started for me today, without any new upgrades. In addition: If I kill Xgl or do a "hard" restart of the x-server, my system hangs either before loginscreen or just after. With no posibility to escape. (cant go to one of the other virtual consoles). -- firefox and xgl cause 100% CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145696 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
