are you sure this is only with firefox? |
| 20 |
I have noticed this behavior too but due to lack of time I have reverted to |
| 21 |
use xorg-server-1.1.1-r4 for me it looked like every application triggered a |
| 22 |
cpu load of >90% by X. only I normally have a firefox window open all the |
| 23 |
time... |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
have you tried a rebuild of firefox _after_ installation of then new xorg |
| 26 |
packages? maybe that will solve the problem. |
