Hi Aike. I can attest that in my case, it's happening _much_ more frequently than that. In fact, the CPU is spending virtually all of its time identifying the monitor (or at least getting its supported modes) and filling the Xorg.0.log as I mentioned above. This is still happening with KDE 4.3.1 if I enable Desktop Effects. It even happens when I run xrandr -q, though only for 5 to 30 seconds, depending on some random factor I can't pin down, but at least it eventually stops. It never stops with Desktop Effects on and I have to eventually kill X.

Is there any more information I can provide that would help identify if this is the case?

Thanks!
