Created attachment 103777 [details] output of Xorg.0.log during uvd-test with DVD watching in fluxbox via smplayer mark the "extra" explicitely set settings: [ 253.915] (**) RADEON(0): Option "EnablePageFlip" "off" [ 253.915] (**) RADEON(0): Option "ColorTiling" "on" [ 253.915] (**) RADEON(0): Option "AccelMethod" "Glamor" [ 253.915] (**) RADEON(0): Option "EXAVSync" "off" [ 253.915] (**) RADEON(0): Option "EXAPixmaps" "on" [ 253.915] (**) RADEON(0): Option "SwapbuffersWait" "on" I read about commits from 3.14 to 3.16-rc* that mentioned pageflipping changes but disabling that didn't make a change *before* watching the DVD I did another test and accidentally watched a short portion of a HTML video on youtube with chromium (actually only had intended to read lkml, but there was a reference link and didn't mention that it was a video /facepalm), did some browsing, had gnote running (and some more which I currently don't remember) adobe flash was explicitely turned *off* via about:plugins and X hardlocked while playing music (and mp3, via audacious) & browsing via chromium so at least in my case more and more signs seem to lead towards bug 81644 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81644) and that chromium + html video; or chromium and all sorts of video (vdpau doesn't apply here ?!) triggers instability & (hard)locks
