Also happens on x86. Also happens with openchrome and vesa drivers. BTW, kernel would be the most natural culprit, but as it happened X fails to start on the newest kernel 2.6.28-0.121.rc7.git5.fc11. So I am running the old, unchanged kernel. The xorg-x11-server-* packages were not updated since November 24 (xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.3-5.fc10). Another thing: my X stops using the CPU when screen blanking engages, no matter what applications are doing. If an input unblanks the screen, X starts eating CPU again on my system. Sounds very much like bug 474586 Reverting to gnome-screensaver-2.24.1-2.fc11 on my system resolves the issue. Duping. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 474586 *** |
Description of problem: The fans on the laptop are at maximum all the time, apparently it's caused by X looping. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-0.99.2-1.fc11 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-61.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: Unknown Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use the system normally Actual results: X loops Expected results: System idle.

Previous versions, working ok: xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-59.fc10 xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-0.99.1-2.fc11.x86_64 I'm going to experiment a bit, perhaps it's something in the application mix (like, broken Firefox update). Although, no other applications eat CPU together with X.
