Zorg application
It's been a long time since I have placed a post, but my question is: When I reboot, My CPU resource meter always shows at 99% with minimum fluctuations to above 76%. I open my system monitor and notice the application Zorg is hogging all my cpu resource, so I ended the process and enter my password and the OS restarts and my resource meter now shows 03%. Is having to run zorg essential?

Hopefully you mean xorg, but xorg should never tie down the processor like that. I known that xorg is the gui management daemon process which must always run when the gui is operational.
Does everything seem to run correctly when zorg has beet terminated?
Does this process only choke the cpu when you log in, or does it run continually?
You mean that the CPU rises its use when you wanna reboot? That's easy to explain: a bad app that cannot close and therefore the Xorg is using a lot of CPU polling the app. Or even easier: a bug in Xorg!
Anyway, being on X requieres the use of CPU, that is for sure
Now to track it I have an advanced command for you to copy the output of into pastebin so we can see what files xorg is using during the abnormal process.
The entire command is:
Since it is sleeping that means it is working as it should, but the load you are experiencing is due to strain being put on your graphical display by applications, desktop enhancements and desktop effects.
What kind of video card are you using and are you using the compiz fusion items or anything else special to "pretty up" your desktop?
