Hi, I have a process running as root which is taking 25 - 30% of my processor activity. Htop tells me it's /usr/bin/Xorg -br :0 vt7 -nolisten tcp - \ auth/var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0-j1o7xa It's obviously something to do with the graphic display, but it would seem to me to be using too much of the main CPU. I have a quad core, 2.8GHz processor with 8Gb Ram, and no particularly graphics intensive software running (Kontact, Firefox, Amarok, gkrellm, Krusader). The graphics card is nVidia GeForce 9600GT. I'm running openSUSE 11.3 and KDE 4.5.
