The problem is not related to exa or xaa rendering. I'm using XAA and I'm on Intrepid and a decent enough hardware - AthlonXP 2200+, 2 GB Ram and NVidia GF 6600 GT. See the screenshot - it's captured at almost zero activity.
Some more data - my Xorg video config. Section "Device" Identifier "GeForce 6600 GT" Busid "PCI:1:0:0" Driver "nvidia" Option "AddARGBVisuals" "True" Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" Option "NoLogo" "True" Option "PixmapCacheSize" "1000000" Option "AllowSHMPixmaps" "0" Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" Option "RenderAccel" "true" Option "EnablePageFlip" "true" EndSection If you need any additional info please let me know. But please be as verbose as you can as I don't really understand the technical babble like "attach to the Xorg process (...) and look at backtraces". ** Attachment added: "Martel's Xorg high CPU usage" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19564105/xorg-high-cpu-load.png -- Firefox causes massive Xorg CPU usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38131 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
