Re: Xorg leaking CPU?
Hello!
I will testify: This (X.org --> 100%, and everything locks up) has been a problem on my computer since I installed kubuntu. I started with the version before dapper, but I cannot even remember what it was called now :P.
The problems has been more or less independent of Kubuntu version, except right now it is worse than ever, and it is worse on 64 bit compared to 32 bit (I have AMD Athlon 64x2 4200 Mhz processor, Nvidia 7900 GT graphics card).
From time to time, I have tried to look into this problem and even got some advice from more experienced users, but never been able to figure out exactly where it starts. Incompatibilities with the Nvidia binary driver (closed source black box of sometimes not so perfect magic) have been suggested, but as everything just locks up and there isn't really a trace of the problem in log files etc I have had a hard time figuring it out.
Hopefully one day my desktop environment will be stable. At first when i started with linux, stability was one of the reasons for moving, but status after approx two years with kubuntu is that WinXP is more stable and Kubuntu about as stable as I remember my old Mac from the study days was. We are talking approx 1995 MacOS..... Both old MacOS and recent Kubuntu has the problem of (frequent) lockups, requiring reboot, where WinXP gets away with Ctrl-alt-del and kill off the darn process, restart it and move on.
In my eyes such stability problems should be killed by the development process (at least, in an ideal world.)
