Xsun processor usage at 49% on idle...

Hi Folks,

I have three newly installed servers that if left idle their processor
usage shoots up to 49% as can be seen from this prstat:

PID USERNAME SIZE RSS STATE PRI NICE TIME CPU PROCESS/NLWP
627 root 77M 7512K cpu2 10 0 3:45:00 49% Xsun/1
19458 root 4560K 4232K cpu0 49 0 0:00:00 0.0% prstat/1

...(load of other stuff cut out!)

Total: 51 processes, 161 lwps, load averages: 1.27, 1.31, 1.33

I have tried to track down whats causing this, but can't work it out!
If I actually go to the server and move the mouse or press a key the
XDM screen appears and the processor usage drops so I am presuming its
a screensaver or something.

I have removed the screen saver when root is logged in, but this
problem is actually at the XDM login screen, not when root is logged
in.

Any help is welcome removing this problem!

Thanks,

Andrew McCall
