It's hard to know whether these two things are connected, but I'll mention them together since they seem to have been correlated at least once: I often find that after being logged into Plasma session for a few days, the cursor starts to lag noticeably behind my wireless (Bluetooth) mouse movement, to the extent that the mouse becomes quite difficult to use. It's hard to determine just what causes this. At one point I suspected either Chrome or Firefox, perhaps because some Web page was very loaded with Javascript, but last time I killed both of them and it seemed to make no difference. I have a second mouse (MS wireless connected via a USB dongle) and its behaviour is always entirely normal, i.e. no lag. I've tried using Gnome but haven't managed to reproduce this behaviour, though I also haven't tried very hard. When this problem cropped up just now, after several days of not appearing, I checked "top" and found ksmserver taking 13% of CPU, far above anything else. This is an 8-core Intel i7 with 16GB of RAM (and root on an SSD). I logged out of the session and logged into a console. ksmserver CPU usage went up to 100% and stayed there. I rebooted and everything went back to normal, i.e. no mouse lag and ksmserver taking no appreciable CPU time. Any ideas would be welcome. poc _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
