On my hardware this amounts to more than 40% cpu :-( A downgrade to 3.18.1-1.fc23 doesn't help, but I can confirm the workaround. FYI: found a much simpler workaround: switch VT to the one where gdm runs then back. I can't reproduce this bug with i686 on a netbook with Intel graphics, while different fc23.x86_64 installations on different computers equipped with NVIDIA graphics cards using the binary driver exhibit the issue. @adriano: Could you please specify which graphics driver you are using? I get the problem too, with a NVIDIA graphic card (GTX 570) and the proprietary driver. @Ilja: I confirm your workaround works. Can't reproduce with nouveau, this bug seems to be restricted to the NVIDIA binary driver.

Yes, I'm using an NVIDIA graphic card. adriano ~ lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF119M [NVS 4200M] (rev a1) NVIDIA proprietary driver from "negativo17 - Nvidia" repo (http://negativo17.org/nvidia-driver/) i'm building an update now that should address this.

I apologize for bugspam, but I really want to thank you for the immediate backport of the necessary patches. I've grabbed the src.rpm from <http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=735393>, installed the resulting local build and can confirm that it fixes this issue. gdm-3.18.2-2.fc23 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 23. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-6f8f961dc4 great, if you could put karma on the update, i'd appreciate it. (In reply to Ray Strode [halfline] from comment #6) > i'm building an update now that should address this. What was the problem ? gdm-3.18.2-2.fc23 has been pushed to the Fedora 23 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

See the linked upstream report for details, but basically an invisible spinner animation had gone rogue. gdm-3.18.2-2.fc23 has been pushed to the Fedora 23 stable repository.
