Description J.Borme 2014-06-10 13:27:17 UTC
Since some months I noticed chromium causes flgrx to trigger a crash in X. I was hoping it was a problem in a beta of ati-driervs so I just waited. But we're several versions ahead of ati-drivers, kernel and chromium, and the crash is still there. Summarizing my configuration:

sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.14.x, -3.15
x11-base/xorg-server-1.15.0
x11-drivers/ati-drivers-14.4_p1, 14.6_beta1 (~amd64)
www-client/chromium-35.0.1916.114-r1

lspci:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Juniper XT [Radeon HD 5770]

I am not able to revert to ati-drivers-13.2 due to incompatibility with the most recent stable of xorg-server, and I don't want to downgrade and screw my setup.

Steps to reproduce
1. launch chromium
2. X crashes

“If I understand correctly, although the segfault is triggered by fglrx, but occurs in X, thus additional checks should be added there.” — Andrey Gursky Fri, 25 Apr 2014 17:14:54 +0200 (comment 154)

“So far I've only seen the problem with chromium, using --incognito doesn't segfault.” — Alex Andreotti Sun, 20 Apr 2014 23:32:14 +0200 (comment 144)

“To get chromium working I've to use --disable-accelerated-compositing --disable-threaded-compositing or disable them in chrome://flags” — Alex Andreotti Wed Apr 23 19:27:25 UTC 2014

Well thought, but it does not work at my place, X still crashes using chromium --incognito --disable-accelerated-compositing --disable-threaded-compositing

ati-drivers is dead, and will not be supported for X.
