I am running centos 4.2 on a P4 3 GIG with 2 GIG ram.
This machine has been fine for months. my laptop is fine.
X is taking 99 percent of the cpu after some time. All I was doing was
editing code.
If I killall -9 X it comes back for a while then maxes out again.
Any ideas on something to tweek??? THanks,
jerry

Does it have a screensaver enabled? Not sure if that would come under the X process name though in top... You could always try and strace X to see what its doing.. Just a thought... P.
