Using Option NoDDC just gets me a Option NoDDC is not used message by the radeon driver and CPU usage still goes way up.

I didn't notice this in 5.6, I'm not sure what caused it in 5.7, but the thread is here: http://marc.info/?t=14240429644r=1w=2 Thanks. Switching to a text-mode console before toggling the KVM will avoid the issue. Flipping back and forth will return the CPU usage to normal. I'll just keep switching to an empty desktop or text console for now until things change.

I might yet try that as a workaround if no solution comes to mind or is forthcoming. :-)

OpenBSD has worked on my Sun 4/110 desktop since 1995. ... It could just be some kind of hallucination. ROFL! The myth that there an OS can only be a server or a desktop OS still seems to be out there.
