I run Ubuntu on a first-generation Macbook Pro (dual-core x86; Mobility Radeon
X1600), using the 'radeon' video driver, wdm as my X display manager and
Blackbox as my window manager. Under Intrepid everything worked fine, however
upgrading to Jaunty resulted in the following symptoms:
- after logging in the X-server process begins to persistently use about 60%
of CPU power, even with the system being completely idle;
- opening X applications takes more and more time: for example, launching the
xterm originally takes only a split second as before but trying to do that
again a few minutes later implies having to wait for OVER ONE MINUTE from
selecting the option from the menu till the moment the window actually appears.
The slowdown affects only X applications, whatever I may run e.g. inside an
already-active xterm runs just fine;
- X seems to crash once in a while - all of a sudden I find myself looking at
the wdm prompt again. The word 'seem' has been used because oddly enough I
cannot find any trace of such crashes in X logs.
The problem is quite clearly related to either the X server or its
drivers, as forcibly downgrading xserver-xorg to the Intrepid version
(uninstall, switch apt sources back to intrepid, reinstall) makes these
problems go away despite the fact libX11 from Jaunty is not entirely
compatible with the X server from Intrepid.
Please let me know if you need any more information.
