[Bug 407309] [NEW] [Karmic] xorg-server has high cpu utilization - system slow and unresponsive

 

Public bug reported:

Hi,

Since using update-manager latest packages xorg-server seems to be
taking up a high proporti. This is causing the mouse to freeze each time
something is clicked and the system is very slow. Also it is very slow
to get to the login screen and then log in as well.

Below is some info:
