Running ps aux give the following process which is using up about 30% of CPU time on my Debian system. /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp -auth Any idea what this is and how to stop it hogging CPU usage? Keith
That would be your X server... part of the GUI. The "-nolisten tcp" means that it won't accept any incoming TCP connections, so it's only serving to the local machine (ie yours) using Unix sockets rather than network sockets... no-one else can connect their machine to your graphical session. _man 1 Xserver_ has the following about "-auth": specifies a file which contains a collection of authorization records used to authenticate access. See also the xdm and Xsecurity manual pages. So, my guess is that -auth means that the GUI login manager must be started.
