[Bug 145696] Re: firefox and xgl cause 100% CPU
Having the same thing here. New to Ubuntu/Linux as of yesterday so can't shed much light. AMD Athlon processor I think (few years old), ATI Radeon 9200 Graphics. Following above advice I can see that: cat...@cathal:~$ glxinfo | grep direct direct rendering: Yes As soon as I fire up firefox, even on the simple google.com page X Server starts to use 100% of cpu, or at least as much as is left after firefox (which varies in cpu, low on simple pages higher for more complex stuff, as you'd expect). Tried turning visual effects off but doesn't seem to make a difference. Using Ubuntu 8.10 and Firefox 3.0.6 (latest I think). Despite the CPU usage firefox is fairly responsive to use when the problem is present I must say. -- firefox and xgl cause 100% CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145696 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 145696] Re: firefox and xgl cause 100% CPU
aselvan: I don't have direct rendering on, but I did have Load glx in the module section i xorg.conf. I found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=610924dd - and after doing: export DISPLAY=:0 it did say direct rendering on. Not really sure why - or what it going on.. I think I need to make sure what all those damn parts in xorg.conf mean ;) I also tried the disable-reboot-enable-reboot of the restricted driver, and now my second problem (not being able to restart my x-server or use suspend mode) is fixed. ! :) Notice: I was not able to start my x-server after i disabled the restricted driver - so I had to do this: sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl (at least I think that was it... found it somewhere), and after that I had to edit my xorg.conf screen section to fix the resolution(screen/display/virtual) Although thinks are working fine, the original problem doesn't seem fixed. When running Firefox in full-screen mode and trying to edit the address, Xgl uses up all cpu again. But if the direct rendering stuff is wrong .. I guess that is the reason?

I have an AMD 64 x2 and an ATI Radeon X300. Ubuntu 7.10 with all the updates as and when they appear. I had the desktop effects enabled and working nicely but today, the desktop effects disabled themselves and I got the problem with Xgl using 100% CPU whilst using Firefox, particularly when scrolling. Desktop effects refused to re-enable. I disabled the restricted ATI driver and re-booted, then re-enabled the restricted ATI driver and re-booted again. I was then able to re-enable the desktop effects and the Firefox / Xgl problem was cured. -- firefox and xgl cause 100% CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145696 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Qilz, If xgl is hogging CPU, then you don't have OpenGL direct rendering turned on or your driver does not support it. Try the following and see if you have direct rendering on.

Hello all, I am new to ubuntu/linux, so please bear with me :). I too am having this (or a very similar) problem. System: Ubuntu 7.10, fully updated ATI Mobility 9700 with ATI restricted driver Dell Inspiron 9100 (3.0 ghz desktop processor) 1gb RAM Here's what I've noticed so far... when Firefox is opened, Xgl starts taking up all available CPU. Once I go to a website and leave the address bar, Xgl calms down and Firefox runs normally. Whenever I go to a text box on a web page (or back to the address bar), Xgl will peak the CPU again. Note: I just read the last post by Qilz, and I've noticed the same thing (e.g., Effects on - Xgl runs fine; effects off - Xgl peaks the CPU).

In addition: If I kill Xgl or do a hard restart of the x-server, my system hangs either before loginscreen or just after. With no posibility to escape.

Hi, I'm seeing the same problem here (I think). I'm using Xgl with Gnome without desktop effects. I have the problem that the url bar in firefox is responding very slowly sometimes (typing in a character in the url bar takes a noticeable delay until it's displayed). The only fix for me is to reboot. After a reboot the problem is gone. The problem usually occurs when I log out of my X session and leave my computer running overnight or longer (with the gdm screen displayed). -- firefox and xgl cause 100% CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145696 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 145696] Re: firefox and xgl cause 100% CPU
Sort of. The strange thing is that when I look at the what's taking CPU, it reports with Xorg usually higher than FF... but then the problem mainly just occurs when running FF.

[Bug 145696] Re: Firefox and XGL cause 100% CPU
Firefox using 100% of CUP is occurring on my system as well. I have Desktop Effects turned on. I am using the latest build of Gutsy. This bug is more pronounced under the user account that has permission to change the system. Also, this bug appears on only certain web pages like gmail and igoogle. I have run Firefox without extensions and the problem still occurs. Interestingly, I have noticed high CPU utilization by Firefox on my Windows Vista build. This leads me to think it is a problem with Firefox. -- firefox and xgl cause 100% CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145696 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 145696] Re: Firefox and XGL cause 100% CPU
I( suspect it's firefox, too, although the interesting thing is that if you open FF in win XP with nothing open it uses about 22mb of ram Vs in Ubuntu, it opens using over 150mb?! On my machine I also see Xorg usage jump super high as much as FF, but usually only when I'm using FF on the kinds of pages you mentioned (Google services, and ironically linuxactionshow.com). Would be good to know what everyone's running to see if we can find any commonalities. I'm finding that using FF3 beta 8 (Gran Paradiso) the problem still seems to occur although not nearly as much.

I'm having this, too, with the only exception being that Xorg seems to hog resources when I'm running Firefox whether I'm using desktop (Compiz Fusion) effects or not (Kwin). To a lesser degree I get a similar thing in Opera, but only a fraction as much as FF.
