[mythtv-users] High xorg CPU usage when playing recording

[jgmtfia Mr]

I am running the SVN head and recently, during recording playback xorg
CPU usage goes to 99% and stays there until playback is complete.  I
am playing recordings back in a 480x360 window on a computer desktop
generated from two Nvidia PCIE cards onto 3 DFP's.  It does not matter
which display the playback window is on.

I have tried a couple of different Nvidia drivers (The 97XX series and
the 100 series) with no difference.  Google and the mailing list tend
to suggest adding:
Option "UseEvents" "True"
to the xorg.conf file.  In my case using this option causes other
windows, like firefox, not to load properly or at all.

What other information can I provide that may point to the source of
this problem?
