Since last update from 2014-06-14 17:46 UTC the KDE Desktop is freezing and producing graphical errors on the whole screen when opening Chromium.

External monitor loosing signal totally until Chromium isn't closed. There has NOT been any update to Chromium since 2014-06-11 06:07 UTC. Chromium and KDE worked fine until update of Intel driver.

Xorg.0.log contains following error after freeze:
[CODE][ 611.690] (EE) intel(0): get_fb: failed to add fb: 1440x900 depth=24, bpp=32, pitch=4608: 22[/CODE]

Step to reproduce:
* Open Chromium

I had the same issue.
The problem went away when i removed

Option "TearFree" "true"

from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

not sure why ...

Thank you for this tip. It is also working for me. But I'm not sure if this is the real solution. There seems to be a real bug inside.

the best is to fill a bug upstream at https://bugs.freedesktop.org and paste the link here, so we can follow the bug

Had the same problem with xfce, chrome, option TearFree. This patch solved my problem: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/patch/?id=e2bfa715a9e115921263d572b9f4c496b550a494

Any prediction when this will be in Extra repo?
