xorg eats %100 cpu, only when gnome is running
Last modified: 2009-03-21 06:17:27 UTC
Please describe the problem: Xorg server 1.5.3 eats all cpu (on one core) when running gnome desktop. as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/319813 it looks like its a Xorg-server bug, but it is only fixed in development release of Xorg and it appreas to happen only when running gnome 2.25.x-2.26.x (fxce and fluxbox and gnome 2.24.x are fine) personally, I dont know what causes this to happen First of all, i am not even sure its gnome-session's bug, so forgive me for my uneducated guess. second, i know its xorg bug, but since it happens only in gnome, and gnome 2.26 is stable, it would be great if gnome could fix it before xorg-server 1.6.0 comes out., Also, I build gnome from scratch, so perhaps its my failt that it behaves this way, maybe I am missing something ? Steps to reproduce: 1. start gnome-session 2. check CPU usage 3. Actual results: CPU usage does to 100% Expected results: CPU usage be NOT 100% Does this happen every time? everytime Other information: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/319813
