Bug Description
I'm reporting this bug at the request of <email address hidden> at https:/
Summary:
Using Google Chrome 36+ on an ubuntu 14.04 system with an AMD Radeon HD 6330M graphics card has been regularly causing system hangs. These appear to be particularly likely when playing Flash-based games such as those on Facebook. Scroll up and down using the vertical scrollbar or the mousewheel and chrome will segfault.
WORKAROUND: Use fglrx.

Same problem here. This affect apparently pretty much everyone with open source amd drivers (I am running x86_64) as far as I can tell. What details can we help gather to help a resolution on this?
