top %CPU.
I am using the Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon), 2.4.21-4.EL. When I see the output of the command 'top'. I am getting the following
************************************************************************************

Here the command `/usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth vt7` is taking 78.8
%CPU. I guess that command was using by X-Server. But How would I controll that command to use minimum %CPU.
HELP REQUIRED.
