Description Pawel Lapinski 2010-01-08 17:26:22 CET
Happening on Asus K70IO laptop: Core 2 Duo T6500, 4GB RAM, nVidia GT 120 with openSUSE 11.2 installed. If xfce4-power-manager is running, it makes X process to eat CPU. I tried with battery in and out, no changes. Killing xfce4-power-manager makes CPU back to normal load instantly. This is happening on fresh openSUSE installation so I guess no software conflict is possible.

Which version of the power manager you are running, how frequent is this problem occurring?

Thanks a lot for your report.

xfce4-power-manager version is 0.8.3.1. The problem is occurring every time when power manager is running, about 30 minutes (to 1 hour) after starting it.
Oh, and I haven't been 100% accurate in bug summary, so: since X process is on top of the process list with 99% CPU usage when problem occurs, the average CPU load is about 50% then (while doing nothing on my laptop) and one of the cores is always at top speed (while both sould be 1,2 GHz, using 'ondemand' CPU governor).
