Public bug reported: Starting a couple of days ago, I notice the fan on my computer has been constantly running hard. Doing a 'top' in a terminal shows that Xorg is almost always at the top of the process list and almost constantly using 4% - 12% CPU. Looking at the system monitor shows both cores running at 60%+ constantly. The processor is an Intel B970 with Intel HDA graphics. Not sure how much longer I'll have Quantal installed on this machine, this behavior is not tolerable so I'll likely replace Quantal with something else.
