For me this bug causes Skype to crash X (mentioned in linked bug 1286039). System worked fine on 13.04 and 13.10 (over-eager upgrade to 14.04 to get 5.1 HDMI sound working!).
This can be worked around by unplugging the USB webcam and then changing the Skype settings to not use a camera - then the webcam can be safely reattached. I guess this would be more difficult for someone with a built in webcam. Obviously this workaround does nothing to alleviate the earache I am getting from my mother-in-law about no longer being able to see her grandson, so if there is any further information I can provide to help with fixing this, please let me know! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1279412 Title: Xorg crashed with SIGABRT in xdl_xs115_atiddxPixmapIsTypeOf() Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: XOrg crashed when i try to start playing AVI video file in VLC player or Parole player ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.15.0-1ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-8.27-generic 3.13.2 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-8-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx ApportVersion: 2.13.2-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CrashCounter: 1 Date: Wed Feb 12 20:14:55 2014 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/Xorg InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-02-09 (2 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Alpha amd64 (20140209) ProcCmdline: /usr/bin/X -core :0 -seat seat0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch ProcEnviron: Signal: 6 SourcePackage: xorg-server StacktraceTop: xdl_xs115_atiddxPixmapIsTypeOf () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so atiddxPixmapIsTypeOf () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so X740XvPutImage () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules/modules/amdxmm.so ??
