Then, last night, my brothers Mint 17 computer started showing very high CPU usage on my VNC remote xfce display. I checked top and found 91% for Xorg! I shut the vncserver down and ran top again from a remote terminal and no change.
Two PCs having a simialr desktop problem at the same time suggests a faulty software update.
Is anyone else seeing this?
