the last several mornings I have one cpu pegged at 100% by xdpyinfo. Starts at 3:00am local time, but doesn't appear to be started by a cron job and I cannot locate a systemd timer that appears related.

killing the two related xdpyinfo instances relieves the 100% cpu.

sorry, should have included: X.Org version: 1.19.5 GeForce GTS 450/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA 387.34

can you reproduce this? If so, you should be using "ps -fHu <user-running-xdpyinfo> | grep -C 3 xdpyinfo" or "pstree | grep -C 3 xdpyinfo" to figure out which process was calling xdpyinfo. If that doesn't reveil the evil, you can try brute-force using find -x / /boot /var /usr /home -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -r fgrep -l xdpyinfo to get a list of files whose content reference "xdpyinfo". HTH, cheers. l8er manfred
