[Mesa-users] Google Chrome Random Freeze with intel Crocus Driver

[Simone Garzieri]

Hi all,

Mesa driver Crocus is working just fine on my machine (a thinkpad t410, 
with an Ironlake IGPU), the system seems to be more responsive  gallium 
nine is working like a charm and hardware video acceleration is finally 
competitive with the one offered by the windows driver. There's an 
annoying issue that is affecting my very positive experience with this 
driver though. The issue involves google chrome, the browser randomly 
hangs without a reason while using crocus (it does not happen with the 
classic i965 dri driver) and freezes the whole system I have to push the 
power button to shutdown. Did someone face the same problem yet? Thanks 
in advance for your help and support. Have a nice day.
