Public bug reported:
Hi,
Ever since I updated to Karmic, I experience recurrent CPU hogging even
right after a fresh start, with Xorg taking up about 70% of the load,
according to "top". My machine seems not a candidate to install lm-
sensors (sensors-detect detects none of them) and I've already tried to
modify menu.lst by adding the "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" to the
"kopt..." line, as suggested elsewhere, to no avail.
Let me end up by saying that, even though my machine starts at close to
100% usage at 2GHz, it is not infrequent that, perhaps after a few
suspend events (how it arrives at this is not clear to me) it'll return
to "normal" usage (800 MHz and ~67% usage). But every time it boots it's
always going full-power.
Thank you for your help.
If it's of any use, I am enclosing the (what seems to me) relevant part
of "lshw" output:
