Since updating this morning (08:00 UTC) and rebooting I am seeing Xorg taking up 50% CPU on restart. After about 10 minutes this calms down to a respectable 4-8%.
I do not have the blinking scroll light (Lenovo T61)

Hi oliver-z,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn` and `dmesg`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you're using a custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

Thanks for letting us know the issue is resolved. Sounds like it was a kernel oops.
