Hi All!
Anyone able to give me an idea where to look......
Sometimes when I start my desktop, System Monitor tells me that "X" is
running at max CPU %-age. Other times, "X" is 4th or 5th in the list
(I selected the CPU column to put the highest users on top), using 1
or 2 %.
So, my question to you all: What is "X" doing & how can I stop it
doing whatever & keep my CPU chip cool????? BTW, I have no idea what
X is!!! I've tried killing it & that usually kills my desktop; just
now killing it caused the system to restart.
My system: uname -ar
Linux Fedora-Blue 2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Thu Feb 11
06:51:26 UTC 2010 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
running F11 & kde installed from the F11-KDE-Livecd.
As ever, Thanks for any help!
Dave

Etc. etc. etc.
At this time ( like in the previous example) I had nothing running. It
seems as though when the system starts up, if x gets in first it hogs
everything, if not everything runs ok, temp of the CPU goes down. When
x plays up, it would appear that it carries on "whatever it's doing"
even while the screen is blanked out cause when I come back the cpu temp
is up to 59 deg C.
Anything else I can give anyone?
And thanks to those who have already replied!!!!!
Dave
