Is this issue still occurring on Gutsy-final for anyone? For those able to reproduce this problem on Feisty, could you follow the steps on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingXorg to try getting some gdb information about what Xorg is doing at the time of the 100% usage? Perhaps Xorg is stuck in a loop, which could be made evident by stepping through the code for a bit and see how it's looping. Sending the Xorg process a `sudo kill -5` might also be of interest.
Also, Eric says he is seeing this only when he has Firefox open - can anyone confirm having this issue when Firefox was *not* running? On bug 104481, it said the issue was particularly noticeable for websites like http://derstandard.at/ and http://www.blogger.com, which use javascript to do dynamic image stuff. Can anyone else who is seeing this 100% cpu issue confirm this? ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Critical Assignee: (unassigned) => Bryce Harrington (bryceharrington) -- Xorg process freezes, uses 100% of CPU.
