[mythtv-users] NVIDIA woes? X starts spinning at 95-99% cpu all of a sudden

This was on a box which was up for 24 hours, had recorded some shows,
played back some shows. It was basically working fine. The box was
recently upgraded so it doesn't have more of a history (other than
working fine before the upgrade).

Today i was navigating through the menues on the frontend and it hung.
Looking from another session showed X as the top cpu process with 99%
or so.

Looking at Xorg.0.log it was adding the WW wait messages periodically
(every few seconds - a bit longer).

I believe this corresponds to the start of the problem:
