Description Rick Harris 2013-01-28 11:22:26 UTC
>=x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.20.18 installed with the 'sna' USE flag enabled causes flash fullscreen video to freeze and sometimes crash Xorg entirely.

When the fullscreen video freezes it can be woken up by issuing some Xorg OSD (eg.Gnome/KDE volume display) but immediately freezes afterwards.

The version of www-plugins/adobe-flash does not matter, tested with 11.2.202.261 and 10.3.183.50.

The version of kernel does not matter, tested with 3.4.11 and 3.7.1.

Does not affect any x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel version built with '-sna' USE flag disabled.

Using Intel® Ironlake Mobile GPU.

I should also have made mention that it happens in all browsers.
Tested with Firefox, Chrome, Chromium and Opera, thanks.

Do you have compositing enabled? Does the problem still happen if you disable compositing?

Yes compositing is enabled.
The problem doesn't occur if compositing is disabled.

Chí-Thanh, I've reported this upstream as requested and can be tracked here -> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60042

The following commit fixes the problem and applies fine as a patch to 2.20.18 and 2.20.19.
