Hi Rolando,

Thanks for your willingness to help improve things. Thanks for attaching lspci info, however with X bugs what is really needed is the Xorg.0.log. Also, I tend to prefer 'lspci -vvnn' data since it includes all of the info in a nicely ordered format; however we can piece together all of the pci info from what you've posted, so that's good to go.

More importantly, I notice you mention high CPU usage by the Xorg process. Ironically, high X cpu usage usually indicates a bug in something *other* than X. The X process is just a server so is responding to actions from some other client program. If it misbehaves and has a poor algorithm that drives X too hard, it shows up as a high X cpu load but it is really the client program, not X, that is to blame.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/HighCPU for more details about this. Meantime, I am unassigning xorg as the bugged package. You can follow the guidance in that document to determine which program is causing the load.
