I've just upgraded to 9.04b and now the X-server runs, but takes up 50 to 99 percent of cpu.
Strange. Places to go looking for clues... ~/.xsession-errors /var/log/Xorg.0.log Run top and see what else is running and chewing up stuff. ie. the X may just be sanely doing stuff at the behest of something insane. Switch to the compiz unfanciest mode possible.
Machine: ThinkPad T41 Vid. card: ATI Mobility M7 ( 7500 ) Anybody else seen this? Got a solution? X-server works correctly with the Device 'vesa' line in the xorg.conf file, but it's at 800x600 and of course we don't get the nice compiz effects. A solution would be very welcome, 'cos the all important Skype video doesn't work properly TIA a million times over. -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell
