Details

Description:
As the summary said,when I choose to use "hardware acceleration" option,Chromium will always make the whole screen freeze occasionally,and error messages will fill the /var/lib/systemd/coredump directory.It exists for a long time until I find it's caused by the conflict between Chromium and mesa driver.Hope to fix it.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.

Are you seeing a blank tooltip before Chromium freezes, similar to  FS#42110 ?

At any rate, this isn't something I can investigate myself as I don't use Intel graphics or GNOME (which could be related). You might have better luck checking if Chrome has the same issue and then reporting it upstream.

Nope,but I've seen it in Gentoo linux's chromium 38.In Gentoo, mesa stable version is 10.1,when I choose "hardware acceleration",screen will not freeze ,but the driver would crash itself and then show blank tooltip sometimes later,so there actually is still a problem.You are right,maybe I should report it to upstream.

I have the same issue with an Intel card in KDE. This does not happen disabling graphics acceletation in Chromium.

@guoqiyi: Are you enabling GPU-acceleration via the ignore-gpu-blacklist flag (chrome://flags/#ignore-gpu-blacklist)? If so, that's unsupported according to the flag description.

@Javier: Is this still an issue for you?

No, it works fine for me at this moment.
