--==========98DE21DAF7CC21F20296========== Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Is there a way to start a process so that memory and CPU usage can be=20 tracked closely enough to determine what the cause of 100% CPU use would=20 be? I've got a box, recently installed 6.2 RELEASE with xorg 7.3=20 installed, and when X is started, CPU goes to 100% and stays there. Here's the bad machine 1510 pauls 1 0 0 277M 7076K rdnrel 0 13:41 100.05% Xorg Here's my desktop 868 root 1 96 0 202M 134M select 119:09 0.00% Xorg As you can see, memory and CPU use is sky high on the "bad" box. Rather=20 than blow it away and reinstall, I'd like to try to figure out what's=20 wrong and fix it. What utilities could I use to do that?
