Xorg and CPU-problem

jagardaniel · 2009-01-08 15:40:15

Hello! I think something is wrong with Xorg or with the nvidia-drivers.
When I move a window (firefox etc) my CPU hits 30-40%, and when i try to resize my Spotify window, my cpu hits 70-90%.
I thought I did something wrong first time I installed Arch Linux, so I did a new, fresh install. The only thing I installed was Xorg and the nvidia-driver, but it was just waste of time. Still same problem. I heard something about a bug, but I have no idea what the problem is.
I tried Ubuntu Live CD too, and it worked good. I think my CPU was on 1% or something when i moved my firefox-window.
My graphic card is a XFX GeForce GTX260 and I use the latest driver from nvidias homepage (180.22).
I'm using openbox right know, but I got same problem with XFCE4, KDE and GNOME.

My xorg.conf:

So, is there anyone out there who know what's wrong ? I have no idea.
And, very sorry for my bad english. I tried my best

/Daniel

There seems to be something wrong with Xorg and no clear fix yet. I have this problem too and so far nothing has worked for me.

Btw, it's a good idea to use the forum search function before posting a thread like this. Take a look through these threads to see if anything there helps:
