>>> To eliminate one hypothesis, I followed the instructions from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video- openchrome/+bug/760743/comments/11 . However, nothing happened. This is what i did:
$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-openchrome $ sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake1.9 libtool git xutils xutils-dev subversion checkinstall $ sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-openchrome $ mkdir compilations $ cd compilatons/ $ svn checkout http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk openchrome $ cd openchrome/ $ svn update -r920 $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-debug --enable-xv-debug $ make $ sudo checkinstall -D >>> At this point I received this message: ***************************************** **** Debian package creation selected *** ***************************************** *** Warning: The package version "0.2.904 0.2.904 0.2.904 0.2.904" is not a *** Warning: debian policy compliant one. Please specify an alternate one >>> So, I typed: 0.2.904 >>> In the end, I received this message, saying that installation was ok: ********************************************************************** Done. The new package has been installed and saved to /home/flaviano/compilations/openchrome/openchrome_0.2.904-1_i386.deb You can remove it from your system anytime using: dpkg -r openchrome ********************************************************************** >>> Next, I edited xorg.conf: $ sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "openchrome" EndSection >>> So, I restarted my notebook, but I got another freeze when I tryed to play a video. The least bad workaround was disable "dri" in xorg.conf, like this: $ sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "openchrome" EndSection Section "Module" Disable "dri" EndSection >>> But I got a very poor performance. Now, there is no freeze and I can watch videos, but many of them are showed without audio synchrony. I installed Ubuntu Lucid in dual-boot and I have the same problems. In Bug #760743, the bug affects Ubuntu 11.04 and after and playing videos doesn't freeze ubuntu, but only make it restart. I don't know why, but Update r920 from openchrome trunk didn't help my problem too. >>> If disabling "dri" freezes stops, maybe my problem is mesa drivers and not openchrome drivers.
