[xubuntu-users] Google Chrome Stable or Chromium Browser Crashes on Xubuntu 14.04

[Robert Crawford]

I installed the fgrlx driver, it did not help. I've ordered a different
video card from eBay. A ATI RADEON 7000 PCI card.

I've got a old Toshiba laptop, runs Debian Wheezy. Runs Firefox and Chrome
and plays video as long as its 1024x768 resolution.

Thanks for your help.
