To fix high CPU usage caused by graphic driver
Hardware acceleration can cause high CPU usage with some graphic drivers. Usually this can happen on an old computer and driver like savage.
1. Make a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
sudo Xorg :1 -configure
PS. Ignore the error messages
sudo cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
2. Edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
… add the next line to the device section
Option "NoAccel" "True"
… save, quit and reboot
Ctrl o
Ctrl x
An example about whole section:
Section "Device"
Option "NoAccel" "True"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
