This driver worked great on 10.04 LTS and now again on 12.04 LTS. There is only one issue with the latter. I'm not sure if it is the driver but the experts here can certainly tell me how to analyze it. The GNOME shell and Unity shell crashes and restarts with gdm whenever I am playing movies with vlc/mplayer/totem. This happens when during the movie any window event is triggered other than moving the mouse. By the way, I use mostly GNOME shell.
This happens precisely for example when moving the window, making it full screen, moving another window that is in front of behind the window with the movie, etc. However, it does not happen when I am movies in a web page, such as YouTube.
In Xorg.log I find some of these lines:
...
[ 7841.031] Segmentation fault at address 0x188
[ 7841.031]
Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting
...
but there is more.
Do more people experience this? What do I need to do in order to analyze this issue?
