[hardy] glxinfo uses 100% CPU

Is it linux-restricted-modules though? I installed Catalyst 8-1 directly instead of using the restricted modules manager.

In that case I'll just close the bug, since we don't support out-of archive software. If you are able to reproduce it with the Ubuntu version of the package, feel free to reopen.

It is also there with the ubuntu packages. In fact, it had been there at least since alpha 3 but I think longer.

Steps to reproduce:
1. reboot
2. run glxinfo from the console (it only hangs the first time I try)

Version info:

kernel 2.6.24-7.12
linux-restricted-modules-generic 2.6.24.7.7
xserver-xorg 1:7.3+10ubuntu4
xorg-driver-fglrx 1:7.1.0-8-01+2.6.24.7-7.17
mesa-utils 7.0.2-4ubuntu2

Graphics card: Radeon Xpress 1150

bug also in ubuntu packages

This is related to bug 188389.

Do you get any output from glxinfo when run from the terminal?

Only one line:
name of display: :0.0

when I run it a second time after killing (ctrl+c) it runs normally:
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
...etc...

Hope this narrows it down a bit.

  * nvidia-glx*:
    - When using the nvidia-settings binary for storing
      values in xorg.conf it clutters up the file with unneeded settings,
      and some are just plain wrong nowadays (the mouse device for
      instance). So, don't ship the version included in the drivers, instead
      Suggest nvidia-settings -package (again), and fix the issues there.
    - Don't ship nvidia-settings.desktop, only the .png file.
      Nvidia-settings will include the desktop-file.
  * rules:
    - Enable fglrx for -rt (LP: #182242)
  * rules, control.stub.in:
    - Enable -server flavor. (LP: #153011)
  * dvb:
    - Add dvb-usb-bluebird-01.fw (LP: #90723)
    - Add dvb-fe-tda10046.fw (LP: #107090)
  * ati: Update fglrx to 8-02. (LP: #173663, #189772)
  * {nvidia-glx,nvidia-glx-dev,xorg-driver-fglrx}.postrm.in
    - Check that the diverted file actually belongs to the current package
      before trying to remove the diversion. Thanks to Kirk Turner and
      Alberto Milone for patches, and Michael Vogt for review!

    - Fix the path of libglx.so.
  * rules:
