Hello all, I am new to ubuntu/linux, so please bear with me :). I too am having this (or a very similar) problem.
System: Ubuntu 7.10, fully updated ATI Mobility 9700 with ATI restricted driver Dell Inspiron 9100 (3.0 ghz desktop processor) 1gb RAM Here's what I've noticed so far... when Firefox is opened, Xgl starts taking up all available CPU. Once I go to a website and leave the address bar, Xgl calms down and Firefox runs normally. Whenever I go to a text box on a web page (or back to the address bar), Xgl will peak the CPU again. Note: I just read the last post by Qilz, and I've noticed the same thing (e.g., Effects on -> Xgl runs fine; effects off -> Xgl peaks the CPU). I hope this helps, -Teo -- firefox and xgl cause 100% CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145696 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
