I was searching the web to get an clue what was happening and I found this website.
I have exactly the same problem, Xorg takes 100% CPU time, and system is not responding to keyboard or mouse (mouse is however visible). With ssh I can login into the system and kill Xorg, after this I get a login screen, and all is normal again. The fun part is that I don't have Ubuntu, but I am using Fedora 7. Therefore it is not distro related. I have Fedora 7 with Nvidia drivers, Superkaramba, and Kpowersave. -- Xorg process freezes, uses 100% of CPU. Can be killed by remote terminal. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/51991 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
