That whole bit about the CPU fan might be totally irrelevant after all. As it turns out - that is a different bug: "[fglrx] compiz uses 100% CPU when screen turns off (spinning in glXWaitVideoSyncSGI or glXSwapBuffers)" Bug #969860 that the team is familiar with.
That bug has to do with compiz and this is settings daemon - however they may be the same if cmpiz uses settings daemon under the covers. The solve for that bug (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11936668) is related to the AMD Catalyst Control Center - in my case I'm using the ATI Radeon5700 graphics driver. Is anybody experiencing this bug not using AMD/ATI. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969359 Title: gnome-settings-daemon consumes 100% cpu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/969359/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
