Hi,

Thanks for the response.
I don't think Google Chrome was crashing with "Aw, Snap!" with the 
open-source Radeon driver.
The problem is that I must run the proprietary AMD display driver 
because I use VMWare Player.
(I run a Windows 8 virtual machine and the proprietary driver is required)

I'll run Google Chrome from terminal and will report any error messages.
Hope we can solve this problem!
