Well I'd much prefer to use just a normal HDMI monitor, but i work at a Mac shop and i'm stuck with a cinema display... I guess the price of the cinema display might be inhibitive? How many people really buy macs to run linux on them? My guess is that this is why this bug is rated so low here.
I'm setting up a debug kernel to take a look at what is spawning the kworkers later tonight based on "http://engineernabendu.blogspot.ca/2013/10/tracking-linux-kworker- threads.html" but I'm getting close to tossing my hands up and buying an HDMI monitor myself... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1248256 Title: [MacBookPro10,1] Plugging in displayport monitor causes kworker to take 100% CPU Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm seeing the same symptoms as described by: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video- nouveau/+bug/1020221 I thought it would be worth reporting, because I just upgraded to the new Ubuntu 13.10, so it hasn't been resolved yet.
