Could that be related to some fancyness you're Xorg driver dislikes? For reference, I'm running xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.8.1~git20080528.faea0088-1 on a ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY (basically a Radeon 7000 with 16MB RAM). My CPU is at 600MHz and completely idle. Do you use XAA or EXA acceleration? The later is told to be more CPU intensive on some chips. There were reports, that PokerTH is terribly slow on an G4 iBook under OS X - that might be related (but I don't really think it is). I hope you can find some more details. Btw, does it happen allways when the PokerTH window has focus, or only when it's your turn and it waits for your action. And how about network/internet games, same usage? Regards Evgeni
