When power controls ( on display settings ) on KDE are enable , when the monitors turn on after being stand-by , the X server consumes all the CPU usage ( 95% of CPU ) making the Gentoo system useless . X server cant be killed and change session ( ctrl + alt + F[1-9] ) doesn't do anything Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Enable Power Managment on KDE 2.Let the monitors stand-by for 2-3 hours 3.Move the mouse to turn on the monitors Actual Results: 1.Enable Power Managment on KDE 2.Let the monitors stand-by for 2-3 hours 3.Move the mouse to turn on the monitors Expected Results: I expect the X server to consume all the CPU Usage
Please post your emerge --info. Do you use any overlays?

Are you running beryl or compiz? If so, does this apply if you use kwin? Are you running XGL? You should also try to rebuild qt and kdelibs from portage and check if the problem persists. If in the end the problem is related to the xeffects overlay you should report it at http://trac.gentoo-xeffects.org

When u say rebuild ,you mean to re-emerge qt and kdelibs?How would I know that the problem is related to xeffects?should I try to remove them?
> PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/xeffects Reopen if you still have issues after you've rebuild everything with that overlay removed.
You should remove the overlay and rebuild all the affected packages - start with qt and kdelibs. If after rebuilding the packages and restarting kde you stop having the issue, then you've hit an xeffects overlay bug.

Ok so I ll remove it and the I ll do an emerge -uDNpv world ( if this is the way to rebuild the packages ) If not please let me know how to rebuild them Thanks a lot
You only need to rebuild the packages that were installed from the xeffects overlay. If you've installed the kde or kde-meta packages, you could use emerge -uDavN [kde|kde-meta]. If you don't know what packages were installed from the overlay, with the overlay listed on make.conf, you could run emerge -epv world and check what packages are marked as [X] with [X] corresponding to the xeffects overlay.
Run emerge -pv kdelibs. If xeffects is listed as [1], run the following to find what packages need to be reinstalled: # emerge -epv world | grep "\[1\]" replace 1 with the correct overlay number

I just re-emerge the packages I ll let you know soon ps. Before I re-emerge I found out that the same problem occurs also with the Screensaver. When the screensaver runs for 2-3 hours the CPU usage is extremely high

That is the correct link. The bug tracker has been down for a few days. In the meanwhile, you can contact the team in the IRC Freenode network at #gentoo-xeffects.
Closing as invalid since this is not a Gentoo bug.
(In reply to comment #14) > Closing as invalid since this is not a Gentoo bug. > Here I am again. Same problem again. Xeffects overlay is not installed and yet every morning X is using 100% CPU . ..
This issue is still only on your system,(unable to replicate here on x86) so there are some really likely chanches: 1) Some Xeffect file is still there and is loaded at X startup, due to a bad ebuild.You need to manually check this, sorry. 2) Some particular hardware/driver (often things with custom drivers) has issues after an update of xorg. Try to remove any unneeded hardware and unload any unneeded module,and retest, to discover which component may cause this. Also, if you're using an ATI card, please switch kind of drivers (yes, if you're using oss ones I'm suggesting you to check fglrx...), if you're using an nvidia check if your drivers are up-to-date.
Please make sure the xeffects overlay is gone (rm -rf on its path if that still exists). Then do an "emerge -e world " to ensure all possible remains of the overlay's packages are gone as well. If this problem still occurs afterwards, please re-open.
Hello again I double checked the Xeffects overlay and the emerge -ep world. Xeffects are 100% uninstalled and totally removed from my system I ve also seen some reports on gentoo forums about X Server lockups and some of the possible reasons is the superkaramba or the firefox. I will have a test with superkaramba closed The weird part is that this happens after >5hours of stand-by. If the time is less I dont have any problems Really really weird :\
Finally a solution aMSN is responsible for the above bug. When aMSN is running during the night makes the X unstable. Thanks
