Sure , no problem. it's just a workaround to see if it's really tied to the GPU or if it's totally unrelated.
If it's the GPU, it's tricky to identify the culprit. Both Unity-3D and Chromium compete for the GPU, and in case of nvidia, it manifests itself as a Xorg freeze where Xorg is sucking all the cpu, stuck somewhere in the nvidia proprietary libGL, for which we have no source code. Difficult to say who's to blame, chromium, unity, compiz, Xorg, nvidia-current, its libGL, the kernel... or something else. If you can get a back trace during a freeze, that would be helpful to understand the problem (while connecting remotely using ssh and attaching gdb to Xorg). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/805402 Title: When scrolling in Chromium, PC freezes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/805402/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
