Sometimes, I run powertop and see: Wakeups-from-idle per second : 29.7 interval: 15.0s Top causes for wakeups: 45.2% ( 15.9) Xorg : do_setitimer (it_real_fn) 45.2% ( 15.9) Xorg : schedule_timeout (process_timeout)
I run Kubuntu Feisty on AMD64. I usually run konqueror, thunderbird, firefox, akregator and knode. I'm not able to associate it with starting or using any one of these applications. The wakeups don't go away, even if I close all my applications, kill kwm and start twm, kill kicker (kde panel) and kdesktop, and run powertop from xterm. Hell, they happen if I close the xterm, switch to a console VT, and run powertop from there. But they do go away if I restart X. I've checked for hidden clients with xlsclients and found nothing, i.e. if I'm just running twm and xterm, only xterm is listed. Both X.org entries always have the same number of wakeups. I do have DRI enabled, but I don't use it very often. I'm just about to switch to the VESA driver and see whether it ends up happening again.
