/etc/X11/X -deferglyphs 16:0 -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-5MZFyZ ...

If you don't want to reboot, you can terminate X and restart X only

You can use the top command to figure out what process is 'sucking up the cpu'.

If the process is X... that is your X Windows (KDE, Gnome, whatever). Some suggestions would be to reduce colour depth (number of colours), use TOP to see which processes are taking the CPU.

If the process X takes the CPU and it is stuck at 100%, what actions did you do immediately prior to that ?

My CPU spikes to 100% occasionally... Sometimes it sits there if I am doing development work with Eclipse, or a database...

the problem as i said previously ... is that i checked to see what proccess sucking up the cpu .. and it did was x .

hmmmm , if i noticed this i reboot other wise it keeps to be like this till i notice it by the mouse pointer slow motion .. is it bad for the cpu to be stucked on 100% for long time ..?!
