Hello,
after upgrading KDE to 4.4, xorg process takes 50 - 90% of CPU and
makes desktop really slow.
I didn't find anything relevant, so if you can take a look at these
outputs and give me some solution, I'll be very grateful.

I set up Nvidia driver according to http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
I used nvidia packages from Sid (when I installed Squeeze, 6 months ago).
I'm attaching Xorg log.
Thank you for help!

(...)

It seems that several users (from different distributions) were facing
that behaviour:

***
Xorg 100% CPU usage after upgrade
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=94270
***

Verify that you have the latest "xorg" packages available.

try removing the xorg.conf (or backup it somehwere) and restart X (see what
happens)
this is because recent xorg has changed a lot

if it does not help see what happens when you disable the desktop effects

an option would be to try also with the xorg's nvidia driver

I already tried it, but it didn't help.

I have in /etc/X11/XF86Config nvidia driver.
PS: I installed the latest version of xorg package from Sid repository
but it didn't help.

this is not used anymore
you'll have to create an xorg.conf file and try your luck there

try putting there specific options for the nvidia driver (proprietary or
not). I'm using intel here but installed recently kde4.4 with nvidia and
it's working fine. I think I've put an xorg.conf there or it preexisted.

It's possible that you don't use the full capacity of the card to render
whatever you render but I would guess that DRM (3d) is enabled.

what was the speed reported by xgears ?

apt-cache search xgears
mesa-utils - Miscellaneous Mesa GL utilities
