I too have this problem, Xorg will sit at >80% after my media PC has been sitting idle for a while. I have noticed however that if the mouse is moved around a bit (and clicked), the system will recover, even if there was no response to the initial input.
All the same, if a machine is getting maxed out all night, that translates to a massive waste of energy. It looks like a common factor is the machine sitting untouched, I know it sounds like a stretch, but does anyone know of a program or method to randomly generate a small mouse jitter (just a pixel or 2) every few minutes (it must look like real input to Xorg I think). I am happy to do this and log the Xorg usage over a day or two and see if it is a suitable 'work around' until the real issue is fixed. If anyone has some suggestions on how to generate the input please let me know. My relevant (hopefully) sepcs Below: - Kubunutu - Celeron Pentium D (3ghz, underclocked to 2.3ghz) - 1gb RAM - Nvidia Geforce FX 5600 - Logitech PS/2 Wireless mouse + keyboard -- Xorg process freezes, uses 100% of CPU. Can be killed by remote terminal. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/51991 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
