@chipaca Thanks for the suggestion. Interesting. I see a reddit thread about this here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/4cojj9/it_is_probably_time_to_ditch_xf86videointel/ I might try that suggestion again. Reading the Intel Graphics wiki page from Arch Linux has the following admonishment: "Some (Debian & Ubuntu, Fedora, KDE) recommend not installing the xf86 -video-intel driver, and instead falling back on the modesetting driver for fourth generation and newer GPUs. See [1], [2], Xorg#Installation, and modesetting(4). However, the modesetting driver can cause problems such as Chromium Issue 370022." from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/intel_graphics Part of the reason I switched to xserver-xorg-video-intel, though, is because I was seeing atrocious animation performance with the default, as well as corruption issues in Chrome. So, I had assumed the built-in driver was somehow problematic. Seems like we need an expert to weigh in here on the right move for modern Ubuntu and modern Intel GPUs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1710051 Title: xorg crash/freeze when Chrome uses WebGL, caused by: GPU HANG: ... chrome ... reason: Hang on render ring, action: reset To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1710051/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
