I have this same problem with Jackelope, Gnome, Compaq 6710b laptop (intel dual core) 4GB ram, i965 graphics chipset. No compiz.
Since some documents pointed out that it might be caused by other processes, I started killing all my processes one by one until I only had the gnome-panel and terminal left, and CPU usage was still above 50% for the Xorg process. The CPU usage varies wildly, going from 5% to 90% in a matter of seconds, and it doesn't seem to depend on anything I might be doing. -- [i965] Kubuntu: High %CPU/Power Usage unless downgrade to 2.4 (UXA/EXA) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/364359 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
