[Bug 307306] Re: upgrade to 2:1.2.99.2-0ubuntu1 makes session utterly slow

2009-03-06 Thread Joseph Method
The g-s-d problem caused me to misinterpret a problem with dual-monitor displays. On a Macbook 1,1 whenever I plugged in a DVI-to-HDMI connector to a flatscreen television (using a TMDS-1 output on an intel card), on hotplug the machine would start to slow down. On coldplug and an unaltered xorg.co

Just to be clear, these are the same symptoms that Chousuke reported on 2009-01-26. Running gnome-display-properties will cause the screen to go black until it's closed, regardless of whether g-s-d is running. A clean X session with g-s-d disabled at startup and briefly running gnome- display-prope

CPU jumps up past 50% on the System Monitor graph with both g-s-d and gnome-display-properties (top claims +60% CPU usage for Xorg). I used glxgears below.
