No worries. Feel free to but in anytime ;-) Might I ask if you use a PC or laptop, the kernel version Debian version, Desktop environment and, if a laptop, if you use madwifi? I'ts a desktop. No wifi at all (sadly enough I hardly have any network at all, thanks goes out to BT for being lazy bastards!). The reason I ask (aside from helping others diagnose the problem) is that I think I have the same problem.

I think you're having a different problem since I don't recognize any of the symptoms. My computer is idling along happily ignoring my keyboard. I too thought it was X. Now, I think it might be madwifi. How does it behave when you remove the support for wifi? Does it slow down also when X isn't running? /M -- Magnus Therning(OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://therning.org/magnus Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
