** Description changed: When I boot dapper (upgraded from breezy via apt-get dist-upgrade) on my laptop (IBM ThinkPad R52, 1.7Ghz, 1GB, Ati X300 - pcix), load average is always above or at 1.5. I turn on my laptop, boot dapper, log in, and after 15 minutes i do 'uptime', and the load average is 1.5. When I issue 'top', and sort by CPU usage (shift-f l) i see that most cpu time went to Xorg, then to thinkpad-keys and then to multiload-applet-2. Xorg, according to top, took only 15 seconds of CPU time. I'm not sure how accurate top is on gathering those information. When I boot dapper with 2.6.12 kernel, and replay what I mentioned above, load average is 0.05 with top times almost the same as with 2.6.15 kernel. I tried removing fglrx driver both from xorg.conf and putting it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, the results are the same. On home desktop PC (Intel D850MV mb, 1.7Ghz P4, 768 MB RAMBUS, ATA disk driver) 2.6.15 works ok (also dapper upgraded from breezy), load - avereage is 0.12, and I have firefox and evolution runnnig. + avereage is 0.12, and I have firefox and evolution runnig.
