Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu 11.10, I could disable "dri", so openchrome would play videos
(with a worse performance, but video would be playable).
In a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 beta 1 to a hard disk, after "sudo
apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" (today, 2012/03/23),
when I try to play video files like .wmv or .webm, my system immediately
freezes. If I start video minimized, it's possible to hear sound, but
when I call the player (with Alt + Tab) my system immediately freezes
again.
I think Bug #760743 won't help, because here we have a freeze and with
12.04 the system doesn't enable hardware acceleration {OpenGL renderer
string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x300)}.
So, until now, in 12.04 beta 1, I was forced to use software rasterizer.
This would have to bring compatibility, but freezes persists and I have
a slower system than 11.10.
