Bug#599812: Chrome rendering of HTML5 elements such as canvas and video crash X with xserver-xorg-video-intel
So I've now got version 2:2.12.0+shadow-2 of xserver-xorg-video-intel
installed. HTML5 still crashes X but it comes right back up again.
This is can be reproduced. Using Chrome with the following info from
about:version
Google Chrome 8.0.552.5 (Official Build 62886) dev
WebKit 534.10
V8 2.4.9.1
User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.10
(KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/8.0.552.5 Safari/534.10
Command Line /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --flag-switches-begin
--disable-outdated-plugins --enable-tabbed-options --flag-switches-end
This still happens and the bug still exists in the new version.
