Often the culprit is flash. Does the cpu usage go up before you login to X? (a text console can be reached by pressing alt-F1) Does the usage go up as soon as you login to X? Does the usage go up after using the system for a few minutes? -- sg -- OCLUG general discussion list [email protected] http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/oclug
