Hi All! Anyone able to give me an idea where to look...... Sometimes when I start my desktop, System Monitor tells me that "X" is running at max CPU %-age. Other times, "X" is 4th or 5th in the list (I selected the CPU column to put the highest users on top), using 1 or 2 %. So, my question to you all: What is "X" doing & how can I stop it doing whatever & keep my CPU chip cool????? BTW, I have no idea what X is!!! I've tried killing it & that usually kills my desktop; just now killing it caused the system to restart. My system: uname -ar Linux Fedora-Blue 2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Thu Feb 11 06:51:26 UTC 2010 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux running F11 & kde installed from the F11-KDE-Livecd. As ever, Thanks for any help!
