Re: Running 'chromium' locks up machine

Could you start chromium from the terminal and share the outputs?
I run chromium with amdgpu kernel driver and wsfb xorg driver (sadly
with modesetting I got kernel panic :'( )
and no issues, works fine. Also I test chromium-next in pure
qemu-nvmm, where I have no dbus, but works.
