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.
