Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

I'm using the 9.10 Karmic Beta version from an USB pen in Live mode.
When the session start the Xorg process always use 100% of the CPU. I use a laptop with nvidia graphic card and 4 core 64 bit intel CPU, and always one of the CPU is at 100%.

I don't know if this is a problem related only to the open source drivers, or if the nvidia closed driver will have the same problem, because I can't upgrade my system right now. I can only try the Live Session.

The same is happening to me.
Using Ubuntu 9.10 beta 64bit running on a USB pen drive. My system is an Acer laptop with a AMD Turion64, 1,5 Gb RAM, ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 128 Mb. Xorg eats up 100% of CPU since booting throughout the session.
Im almost sure it didnt happen with the alpha6 release.
