I ask, because I have no issues ... hand-built, MSI mobo, AMD64, 8500GT. GKrellM runs fine (I only ran it to test it - I run Conky). Why not run GKrellM through 'strace' to see what's up? -- "On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament!], `Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'

As I said, it is not gkrellm. The process that takes all the cpu (with or without gkrellm) is Xorg. Dennis -- Dennis Golden Golden Consulting Services Change 'invalid' to 'com' to reply by email.

And have you bumped the "logverbose" level for Xorg and checked Xorg's log file in /var/log for clues? -- According to the latest official figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless. <<< Remove YOURSHOES to email me >>>

Nothing in the log file, but did not bump the "logverbose" level. I'm back to 11.2 now, but if I get a chance I will try that.
