(Get the code!)
I am having an issue with Jaunty on i915. Using Metacity, the CPU gets slowly but surely eaten up with no obvious process eating up the CPU cycles. "top" shows no process taking more than 5-10% CPU time, while the "System Monitor" panel applet shows the CPU at 100% usage, with "IOWait" eating up most of it. When this happens I gradually lose control of the system, where sometimes I can reboot it, while other times it just freezes trying to do it. Most programs stop responding when this happens. Switching to text mode doesn't help as bash can't get enough CPU time to initialize. I can reboot with the Magic SysRq key. I can trigger this easily while on battery, usually within 5-10 minutes of normal usage (browsing, reading PDFs etc).
My question is if this bug is related to the above described symptoms, or is it a completely different bug that's affecting me?
Thanks.
