This is a Lucid Lynx Beta-1 bug report. I had to reboot into Karmic Koala to provide the following details after posting the bug files, because I couldn't even type in Lucid Lynx -- the system missed most of my keystrokes.
Here are the symptoms: * CPU utilization by Xorg of 65-75 percent on a dual-core Intel Celeron SU2300 * Heavy blinking/flashing effect is seen as soon as the Lucid Lynx chooser comes up (install or try without installing) * Mouse is sluggish * Keystrokes are dropped * Turning off enhanced desktop effects doesn't help, and may make it worse * Switching/lowering resolution does not help, and sets off a series of errors: "Could not switch the monitor configuration / Could not set the configuration for CRCT64" * Ubiquity crashes when the desktop comes up * Upon shutdown, after the desktop disappears but while the mouse pointer is still on screen, the flashing/blinking effect suddenly stops and the mouse becomes very responsive. -- blinking display, high CPU utilization by xorg https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543808 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
