I've upgraded ubuntu on my laptop from 12.04 to 12.10. After that i noticed this bug several times.

Ocasionaly Cpu usage of process /usr/bin/X ... reaches 20% level or more and all the system dehaves sluggishly.

I 've created Xorg config manualy using $sudo Xorg -configure.
I haven't noticed any wrong XOrg behaviour since that... so, manual configure seems helpful.

Furthermore there are some options on the "Card section" you can play with. I hope that solves the problem
