--- Begin Message ---Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel Version: 2:2.8.0-1 Severity: important Hello, starting with 2:2.8.0-1 xserver-xorg-video-intel leads to X eating 100% CPU when running applications like firefox, even simple xterms lead to high load. Furthermore, when I try to play some video with mplayer (vo=xv), the X server crashes immediately. I'm running it on an Asus P5E-V HDMI with Intel G35 chipset. Downgrading to 2:2.7.1-1 solves these issues. I'm not sure if this belongs somehow to #535300 - it sounds similar. However, #535300 is marked as fixed in 2:2.7.99.901-2. $ lspci -v ... 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

UXA is the only acceleration supported in Intel 2.8.0 (XAA and EXA have been dropped). So it's either GEM and UXA, or no acceleration at all (that's what you get with the bigmem kernel).

You might want to open a bug at bugzilla.freedesktop.org (product xorg component driver/intel) so that you may this directly with the upstream devs. Brice
