After upgrade of kernel to 2.6.27.7-1, the xorg daemon uses 5% of cpu usage doing nothing and up about to 40% on basic usage of firefox. My cpu is a Core2Duo 2.2GHz. I try instaling new versions of xorg and nvidia but the problem persists. Any ideas? My xorg.conf:

Same problem here.... I'm using the nvidia drivers. I just upgraded this morning and X now eats up a huge chunk of cpu when I'm doing basic things in firefox and similar apps.
Ideas?

nvidia-beta makes it a lot better

I have the same issues as well.
Xorg starts using 40% of CPU. This is on a laptop with an intel GMA950 (intel drivers).
I don't know what it could be.
The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck, is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

So is it a driver issue or an Xorg issue?

I install nvidia-beta from AUR, but this issue still happens.
Some sites which almost freezes Firefox works better now (look this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=50776), but youtube videos crashes Firefox aleatory here.
