X high load and performance issues

[graywolf]

Let me try to put all the pieces together.

Complaints are about response times when sharing the screen of a Linux system (specifically SLES11 SP3 x86_64 with GNOME)
and Xorg process using a relevant share of CPU time.

The issue is reported across different hardware:
NVIDIA card with proprietary driver and multiple screen attached
VMware Player
HP server

The problem doesn’t affect NVIDIA with a single screen.
For the HP server the problem affects the mga driver for Matrox card.
We didn’t got more information about VMware Player.

I’d like to have a unique solution for this kind of issue. Nevertheless, it depends
very much on things over which we have limited control, like: device-dependent code in Xorg,
video drivers, and video card capabilities.

So that, it looks quite appropriate searching for different techniques of capturing the output of
a video card. A such work is currently in progress. More details are provided in this Feature Request:

I’ve got a similar issue.

CPU usage: 97.7 0.5 1235:52 nxclient.bin

This is just running in the background. I’m not remoted into my machine or anything at all. The client is just eating my cpu for no reason. version 5.2.21

Darksurf, your issue is a separate issue. Can you open a new topic (rather than a reply to an existing topic) with all the information requested (see ‘What to include’ )
