Hallo all,

now that GNOME 2.26 is in the GNOME:/STABLE: repository, I gave it a try and installed it (on three different PCs). Worked fine for me, but I asked myself a question:

On All three machines the 100% CPU error occured and I had to add the http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/MBoman/openSUSE_11.1/ repository. So will there be some fix in a more official repository soon? Wouldn't it be more logical to put the fix in either the GNOME:/STABLE:/2.26 repository or the X11 repository to spare other users adding an extra rep? (I assume that those who give the 2.26 repository a try will, at least in most cases, also use the X11 repository) I personally made the epxerience that the more reps you add to your repository list, the more often you will encounter dependency problems (and in some cases even heavier problems). I suppose you know these problems (if not I can give you examples).

Or is this problem already fixed? If this is the case take my apologies for asking unnecessary questions.

Never be sorry for asking questions, that's why we're here right? :-) So, what happen was that, for some reason, X started to grab almost a 100% CPU after a GNOME 2.26 update. We noticed this, and figured out that there was a patch that needed to be applied to X for this to go away. We then applied this patch to X in home:MBoman as a temporary solution. Now, the X devs applied that very same patch to its repo, which is http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.1/ You can replace home:MBoman with the repo above. I am not sure if the X devs will release an official online update to 11.1 or not though.
