Also amd64: I observed another issue with chromium-40.0.2214.91 -- it breaks X11 with compositing wm
(i'm running compiz) when I activate any simple effect, e.g switch to another viewpoint or something
like that. At now catched that with Nvidia; have not tried with i915 (yet).

The X11 `breakage' freezes the screen, so I need to kill/restart X11 to proceed. The syslog writes
lots of:

The Xorg.0.log also shows an error (in nvidia driver):
