Xorg is constantly using about 80% cpu power, on a single core. And I have no idea how to get it normalised

I'm running Linux Mint 10 on an HP Envy 17 laptop with an AMD/ATI card.

What window manager are you using, Metacity? Also, do you have openjdk or Sun Java? – Blomkvist May 5 '11 at 18:04

You might try bumping down to metacity to see if anything changes. It's been a while since I've used Mint but I believe it still defaults to it if you select 'none' under desktop effects. – Blomkvist May 5 '11 at 18:32
