Comment 3 for bug 21345

My husband who is more familiar with Linux helped me out on this one.

We checked it a few times and we could not find anything consuming mass amounts
of CPU or Memory. He also checked various logs and could find no errors that
pointed to any one thing directly.

He finally killed the GDM put the system to sleep from console (using sleep.sh).
Woke the system back up then re-initialized the GDM. At that point the graphics
did not display the proper colors. He edited xorg.conf replaced my savage driver
with vesa driver and repeated the process. Results with the new driver were the
same.
