XBMC crashes if launched from within GNOME

Hi again !

After searching a bit, i think the issue can be solved with the latest versions of mesa.
The following patch seems to address our problem : http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/co...3d6a865b80

I tried with the beta of fedora 17 and it's working like a charm !

cheers

I can confirm this, it's finally fixed now

Great! I upgraded to the latest driver version for my iGPU and guess what?
It happens again

Ok, sry to bump this topic again but I found out the reason:
The commit from above is no longer applied in my newest installed version of mesa-common-dev (xorg-edgers-ppa).
I will try to compile mesa by myself.

This issue has been bugging me for ages, but I found a fix, Hallelujah!!!

Installing the Intel drivers according to this howto fixed the problem for me:

Summary:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:glasen/intel-driver
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel

gksudo gedit

Add this to the file:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0″
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
EndSection

Save file as /etc/X11/xorg.conf

janvantonder, Thank you for the tip!! I was getting crashes also on pantheon-shell (elementary OS). It seems fixed now!!
