I'm running debian jessie and lately switched from fglrx video driver to free ati radeon driver. I've managed to set it up but I've noticed xorg is causing high CPU load: 30-50%.
Googling a little bit, looking at htop and turning off processes I've found that conky is causing that xorg high CPU usage. Default /etc/conky.conf is OK and CPU load stays no higher than 2%.
My custom ~/.conkyrc worked fine and did not caused that high CPU load on fglrx 15.9 driver. So I presume that free radeon driver does not like some settings.
I attach my ~/.conkyrc below. Maybe someone could look at it and tell me what am I missing?
