there's really no point to run xmir..

> there's really no point to run xmir..

Well, almost. I sometimes watch fullscreen flash video that flickers badly on x, but works a lot better on xmir...

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Most of the crash is happening in radeon_drv.so, but we can't exclude XMir also being to blame.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Incomplete. The stack traces are not usable.

If the problem occurs again, please log a new bug. We might have better luck second time round.

This is very awful
I don't know why this bug is labelled expired
I have been having this problem ever since I have started using ubuntu i.e from the release of 10.10 to 14.04
and there is still no change in the errors status

I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04 and installed the startup packages like restricted-extras fglrx fglrx-pxpress gimp vlc and added some well know and some other ppas
And just like every other time I started getting this Xorg error
Sometimes my Ubuntu even opens in Low Graphics Mode
I can however be fixed by restarting the system most of the time at other times I have to uninstall my amd drivers and never Install them again

I am willing to do anything to fix this. Please Help
