Re: X server 100% CPU



I used to see something like this on my slackware box, and I think it was due to a memory leak in netscape. After a while it would start paging uncontrolably, and it was hard to get control of my system. The solution was to start using Mozilla.

does it start happening if you leave your system idle for a while (but with some programs running?) With netscape even if I left the system untouched for several hours sometimes it would start paging like mad.

See if there is a particular program that you are running when this happens, maybe it has a bug that results in an infinite loop.
