install "htop". its better, you can easily sort by processor usage and see whats doing what, then kill it right there.

kill Xorg and ohmd??
This is happening to a lot of us for a month more or less.
Uninstalled ALL, the issue still here. Something ****ed OS in some way.
Waiting to pr1.3 for reflash.

Start your X terminal and use top.

1. top
2. p (sort on cpu usage)
3. m (sort on mem usage)
4. q (quit)

i am not sure htop is that much better than top. I tried it.. long time ago. But went back to using top as it did what i needed.

What have you smoked? He probably just installed an unstable software. So if he finds which one.. he just need to uninstall it.

My n900 last for 3 days (maybe longer) without charge. How long does your phones battery last?

First, watch your lenguage.
Second, xorg and ohmd are actually the processes consuming cpu all the time, idle or not.
Third: can you read? All appsuninstalled and cpu usage the same (high)

Xorg normally only consume cpu when the screen is on, it shouldn't drain the battery.
ohmd use 0% of cpu for me.
I don't think that the problem is the OS, an instable application do this.
Reflash should help.
