You will probably find that the Screen save has started in the screen with the user logged in which does heaps of IO to the Xserver! Cheers Mark :) | |||||

Nothing so obvious I am afraid. This happens when the screen saver most definitely is not on. [Posted by WWW Notes gateway] | |||||

Are you using the font server? If so, has it been stopped for any
reason?

| 8555.5 | Check fontpath for fontserver | NETRIX::"[email protected]" | Madeline T. Asmus | Wed Jan 29 1997 14:42 | 25 |
Two possibilities. 1. If you add a fontsever to the fontpath and then remove it, (fp+ tcp/##.##.##.##:7100 ; fp- tcp/##.##.##.##) this will cause the Xserver to consume 99% of the CPU very quickly. 2. If a fontserver is specified in the fontpath, and that fontserver disconnects once, the 99% CPU consumption occurs. This turned out to be a bug direct from the XConsortium. Specifically font rendering code no longer properly cleaned up fontserver connections. A workaround is to comment out the font_renderer from the server config file. As root edit /var/X11/Xserver.conf comment out this line. ! < fr_fs libfr_fs.so fs_register_fpe_functions > or keep a watch out on the ups and downs of a referenced fontserver. Good Luck, Madeline [Posted by WWW Notes gateway] | |||||
