So I regularly only get around 7-10 hours of usage out of the device. This with nothing on exept 3G internet connected and mail set to check every 1 hour. No widgets that use internet.

I've checked top a bunch of times and /usr/bin/Xorg appears using 2% all the time. Anyone know what that is?

Xorg is the thing that shows your display. If you want a graphical user interface, you need it. Don't try to kill it.

And the 2% CPU it's using is for updating the display of top so that you can see what's going on.

To put this in more detailed terms, Xorg, which is an X Server, is part of the X Windowing System (aka X11) which is used to display a graphical user interface (in this case the Hildon Desktop) in a linux environment (maemo). So i'd highly advise you to not mess with this unless you are planning to use maemo without a GUI

Xorg ships with N900 officialy, so messing up with it wont help your battery issues. As it already said, its a part of Maemo.

I have similar problem. With htop i was able to determine, that the process running is
/usr/bin/Xorg -logfile /tmp/Xorg.0.log -logverbose 1 -nolisten tcp -norese(endofscreen)
but i can't figure out, where the problem is.
Any ideas?

The problem is definitely (100%) not Xorg, this is a very well behaved system.

Your issue will be elsewhere, more than likely hildon-desktop, though it could be any number of things. Your best bet is to run top after logging in through ssh - let your N900 screen go dark - watch top for a while, see if anything stands out.

Search on "Slow battery drain" and you'll find several threads outlining various issues and solutions.
