Bug Description
In Ubuntu 11.10, I could disable "dri", so openchrome would play videos (with a worse performance, but video would be playable).
In a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 beta 1 to a hard disk, after "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" (today, 2012/03/23), when I try to play video files like .wmv or .webm, my system immediately freezes. If I start video minimized, it's possible to hear sound, but when I call the player (with Alt + Tab) my system immediately freezes again.
I think Bug #760743 won't help, because here we have a freeze and with 12.04 the system doesn't enable hardware acceleration {OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x300)}.
So, until now, in 12.04 beta 1, I was forced to use software rasterizer. This would have to bring compatibility, but freezes persists and I have a slower system than 11.10.

- Xorg freezes when a player plays a video + [VM800] Xorg freezes when a player plays a video |
I installed valgrind and, in terminal, from this command:
"valgrind --leak-check=full --show- reachable= yes --error-limit=no --log-file= valgrind- totem.log Downloads/01.wmv"
I got the attached file.
There wasn't any freeze in the beginning because, with valgrind and 512MB RAM, totem showed only the first frame and freeze happens only when there is hardware acceleration. But when I stretched totem interface, I got my freeze. I don't know if the attached file has any information about the freeze.
