Either the upstream bug was re-introduced or never really fixed because I'm running the amd-catalyst-13.8 beta2 version (fglrx 13.2000). As soon as the screen shuts off, the CPU usages spikes to 100%. Neither of the workarounds work for me. I've been forced to just turn off X at night.
I've noticed the problem as well if I run xbmc as a standalone. As soon as the screen is shut off, the xbmc.bin process jumps to 100% cpu. The same is true when trying with fvwm2 or xfce4 as well. can we get upstream to re-open the bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969860 Title: fglrx uses 100% CPU when screen turns off (spinning in glXWaitVideoSyncSGI or glXSwapBuffers) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/969860/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
