I'm seeing this as well.

System is Thinkpad X200, Intel graphics.

No xorg.conf.

Comment 2 Tom London 2010-07-27 16:29:37 UTC
A bit more information on this.

I downgraded back to 

xorg-x11-server-common-1.8.99.904-6.20100702.fc14.x86_64.rpm
xorg-x11-server-debuginfo-1.8.99.904-6.20100702.fc14.x86_64.rpm
xorg-x11-server-devel-1.8.99.904-6.20100702.fc14.x86_64.rpm
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.8.99.904-6.20100702.fc14.x86_64.rpm

And the problem remained: 100% Xorg cpu utilization.

I then noticed this in /var/log/messages:

Jul 27 09:17:05 tlondon /sbin/mingetty[1691]: tty1: invalid character 0x1c in login name
Jul 27 09:17:10 tlondon systemd[1]: getty holdoff time over, scheduling restart.

Jul 27 09:17:11 tlondon kernel: systemd[1]: getty holdoff time over, scheduling restart.
<<<SNIP>>>

etc.

So, two things:
1. logging off and logging back in (not shutting down and rebooting) seems to "fix this for me".

2. Could this be an issue with systemd?  I haven't tried this with upstart.

How did you achieve this interesting result?

Also, please add drm.debug=0x04 to the kernel command line, restart computer, and attach

* your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available),
* output of the dmesg command, and
* system log (/var/log/messages)

to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

For me, this seems to be a systemd issue. 

Following the workaround in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=614454#c7 appears to "make this work for me".

Not sure this is the same issue as originally posted.

Comment 5 Matěj Cepl 2010-07-29 08:27:36 UTC
Reporter, does the workaround in bug 614454 comment 7 work for you?

Comment 6 ritz 2010-07-29 15:20:29 UTC
@Matej

  Seems to work. I need to pay more attention to syslog. 

Cheers,
Ritesh

Comment 7 Bug Zapper 2010-07-30 12:51:20 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle.
Changing version to '14'.
