[Bug 738458] Re: Gnome won't show screen saver unlock, clock-applet high cpu

 

Every month or so it occurs (a system, that is never shut down) What I
do is that I ssh in from another box and kill the high-load process. If
I can't find out which one it is (happened once), I restart X.

I think it is related to that I have an nVidia Quadro NVS 450 with three
displays and Ubuntu 11.04 effectively stopped supporting more than one
display. X or GPU gets confused and draws in the wrong rectangle. A
window might update on display 1 but is all black on display 2. This was
all good on 10.10
