X is a bit processor-intensive, unless you use Beryl or Compiz which offloads the graphical processing onto the video card, utilising the GPU rather than the CPU.

 

I'm not an expert on that - I don't use graphical desktops on my machines.

That does look like X has got into an endless loop somehow, as it is using almost all your CPU capacity.

 

Does the problem persist after rebooting the machine? It's fairly likely to be a temporary issue - and I notice that your uptime is a couple of days.

[Vincent L]

any suggestion on how to solve this?

Can you post some specs of your machine, including capabilities of the video card?

Im not restarting my Server because its in Production.

 

It is distinctly possible the X problem is only temporary. If you really can't restart the machine, use Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to just restart X or kill the X process by hand.

 

That might solve the problem, possibly.

I also try to reboot my system but the utilization of X is still high, is tomcat affecting my cpu utilization?
