Adrien Lamothe, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg <replace-with-bug-number> Thank you for your understanding.

Doing a 'top' in a terminal shows that Xorg is almost always at the top of the process list and almost constantly using 4% - 12% CPU. Looking at the system monitor shows both cores running at 60%+ constantly. The processor is an Intel B970 with Intel HDA graphics. Not sure how much longer I'll have Quantal installed on this machine, this behavior is not tolerable so I'll likely replace Quantal with something else. I've also just today started experiencing acpi problems. The remaining time and percentage values are inaccurate and change suddenly.
