Hi Bernie,
I've tried the older code today with the same hardware/software configuration.
No luck, I still got 100% CPU usage from X.
IIRC the difference comes from using stand alone USB hub + mouse, keyboard and
Plugable's UGA-125 vs. docking stations. This is consistent with powertop output
which tells me that the USB hub is active all the time.
