Re: Help urgently required ANS #1

Thank you Damian

You mentioned a number of things with which I am not familiar so will
try them out.

I just found out, shortly before reading your posting, that, indeed,
xorg runs under the root and is necessary (as I found out!). What
puzzles me is that it should be using up so much processor time.

I am in the throes of turning things off to see if any peripheral is
hogging cpu cycles.

As far as I can make out, I have a dual core Celeron which, according to
Intel, is only 1.6 GHz but, according to hardinfo is running at 3.2 GHz.
One app. even suggests that it is running at 4 GHz! (At the moment, I
don't want to go the trouble of ripping off the cooling fan and looking
on the chip to see what exactly it is!).

(I agree with your comment about the sledge hammer : I was endeavoring
to paraphrase "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!! when, I seem to
remember, someone wants to take an ax to the shipboard computer on Heart
of Gold!

I will keep this board appraised of my progress.
Cheers
