I have an issue, seen on two totally different systems, where when the display shutsdown on in powersaving (just the display) Xorg ends up taking up 100% of the cpu. Screen saver is set to blank the screen only, and it takes affect fine, but after the display actually turns off Xorg just starts to eat up cycles like anything. I have found some google references to older versions OpenSuse having this but not on 11.2.
I was able to "fix" one of the systems (the desktop) by disabling any type of power saving. So even when the system is idle it just stays there. The other system (the laptop) that does not seem to work. I've had this for a while now, tried updating the Xorg version from the Xorg repository which actually caused other problems so reverted back. I had it running on KDE 4.3 so tried 4.4, still there.
The two systems are detailed below.
KDE 4.4 11.2 (with latest updates) Laptop - Core Two Duo, with Nvidia (using Nvidia's driver) Desktop - P4 with integrated Intel
The desktop is "fixed" now, though I'd like to be able to get the powersaving feature to work on it again.
Any suggestions on what to look at next, or what to try for the laptop?
I've also been noticing issues with Xorg taking more CPU cycles after the screensaver turns on. At first I thought it was tied to the Desktop compositing effects but turning that off didn't seem to help. This is on a Core 2 Duo / ATI 3450 with fglrx driver, KDE4.3 and 4.4. Don't remember seeing this in 11.1. What can we use to test what Xorg is actually burning its cycles on?
