[Bug 441505] [NEW] Xorg continuously taking up 15% CPU, system slow, GUI windows take several seconds to draw

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

After a fresh install of Karmic beta yesterday, Xorg was taking up 100%
of my first CPU, compiz was not starting, the system was unresponsive
and all GUI windows were taking several seconds to draw on the screen.
After an update to libgl1-mesa-dri gnome-system-monitor reports that
Xorg is only taking up about 15% of the CPU. However, the other symptoms
remain the same, and the system is just as slow before the update.

I could be wrong, but this excerpt from dmesg looks like it may be pertinent:
[    3.027889] i915 0000:00:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
[    3.027895] i915 0000:00:02.0: setting latency timer to 64

[    3.032834] agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xe0000000

Also, I'm attaching some error messages from compiz (compiz-errors) in
case it contains useful information. I've seen several other bugs that
look like their symptoms are similar, but it seems difficult to me to
determine if an X related bug is the same as someone else's, or just has
similar symptoms.
