Bug Description
Hi,
Thanks for all help.
>>> Lots of system output contained below <<<<
o System crashes to black screen and mouse pointer remains responsive. I have to re-boot via power off button to get back (ouch!). This is most prone when opening Firefox and sometimes Chrome. Viewing youtube video in browser can cause crash too.
o Not sure if I can re-start cinnamon as I don't know how to in this situation.
o Google reveals this 'black screen crash' is happening quite consistently for a number of people running new installs of both LM C 17.1 rebecca and recent(?) ubuntu.
o Some basic details :

$ apt-cache policy xserver-
shows that trusty drivers are in use... see below ..

o Both these links suggest

installing
libgl1mesa-dri (Direct Rendering interface)
for the GM965 graphics chip.
I installed
libgl1-mesa-dri
in the synaptic package manager, though both this and libgl1-mesa-glx now appear greyed out with an exclamation mark in the check box synaptic (post install)
Thank you
:)

On LM 17.1 I'm also getting a black screen (totally black, even mouse goes away). When going to chrome.google.com (to download chrome) screen will certainly go black!, sometimes when watching videos form youtube or browsing any other graphic heavy sites.
System is: Dell Vostro 1500 (with intel Gm965 graphics).
I can give more specifics info if needed.
