Hello,

I have this strange behavior, whenever XBMC goes full-screen, Xorg goes to 100% CPU utilization. If it's windowed, even maximized, everything is smooth. But full-screen, even without doing anything, just move through menus (default skin) causes the system to become unresponsive.

The system is beefy enough: Intel dual-core, 8GB RAM, Nvidia 9600GT. Using Fedora 12 with all updates installed, Nvidia binary drivers 260.19.21 64 bit, VPDAU enabled. Using "separate displays" dual-screen, one is a monitor, the other an LCD TV. XBMC compiled from source, latest updates from SVN.

Has anyone encountered a similar behavior recently? I found on Google some old threads from 2007/2008, but they didn't help.

Any suggestion is greatly appreciated (except from upgrading to Fedora 14, not enough time now).

Just in case, here's my xorg.conf too:
