I have just installed xubuntu on my old laptop, I seem to be having a similar problem as the rest of you guys. My system starts to slow down and i am not sure why when I ran top, the Xorg process was eating wat to much cpu time. Slowly the cpu time got higher and higher until my machine was no longer useable.
I tried to track down the problem, the xubuntu installation did not recognise my laptops graphics card so I went through the process of manually putting in the correct video driver details. I thought this would have solved the problem but no, for some reason, Xorg process just starts to eat cpu cycles until I cant use my system -- Xorg process freezes, uses 100% of CPU. Can be killed by remote terminal. https://launchpad.net/bugs/51991 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
