100% CPU usage from Xorg process, how to to troubleshoot?
System was very sluggish and top revealed Xorg was using 99-100% of the CPU. OS is CentOS 5.8. I just have the desktop up, no windows besides a terminal are running. pstack trace of Xorg is below. Any ideas what the issue is?
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# ps -ef | grep Xorg |
Normally, if their isn't a functionality problem (if the software does what it's supposed to do without throwing errors or bombing out) I've found issues related to performance are often related to drivers, or driver "type" emulations.
Looking at your list, the frame buffer driver (libfb.so) appears to fit that description. One way to check is to go here and let the web server test your frame buffer performance. |
High CPU usage from X usually indicates that you run on some kind of software rendering instead of using the GPU. What video hardware do you have and which driver is in use?
Please provide the output of Code:
lspci | grep VGA |
From a terminal you can run this command:
Code:
top jdk |
