My system (Asus with Celeron @ 3 GHz, 2 Gby RAM, 2 x 80 G HDs, Samsung printers, Canon scanner, IDE Zip drive, ADSL, running Fedora 9) is slower than molasses in January. When I use the system monitor, it indicates that something is using 99 to 100% of the processor. When I go into bash and do top, all that it indicates is that root is running xorg and taking around 50% of the processor (even though I am logged in as a user). I tried killing root's xorg process but it killed me as well. Does anyone have any ideas as to where I should look for this phantom who is stealing my processor time and slowing me down such that it is a real pain in the butt trying to do anything on the system. Incidentally, this happens also with Fedora 8 and I switched to Fedora 9 thinking that there was a bug in F 8 but that didn't cure the problem. If I create and log in as another user, it still demonstrates the same phenomenon. I am getting desperate and feel like taking a sledge hammer to my system and giving it a reprogramming that it'll never forget. CroombeFP -- This e-mail produced entirely under Linux.
