Actually, it seems to have resolved itself within the last week. I waited a few mornings to be sure, but I've had a least 4 days in a row now without XOrg hogging a core in the morning.
No change to kernel (I've stayed on 2.6.30-9) or video driver. There were updates to both XOrg, and the screen saver in the last few days.... so perhaps one of those fixed it. Closed for me. -- 9.10a2 Xorg uses ~100% of CPU core after prolonged screen saver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392498 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
