Bug description:
  CID: 201404-14986 Dell Precision M2800

  On this I+A (AMD/ATI Mars XTX [Radeon HD 8790M] [1002:6606]) system,
  the GStreamer autovideosink plugin does not work well with the
  proprietary fglrx driver (version 2:15.200-0ubuntu0.5)

  Steps:
  1. Install 14.04.3 + upgrade (3.19.0-30) + fglrx + Checkbox test suite
  2. Run  "gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! videoconvert ! autovideosink"
  3. Run "gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! videoconvert ! ximagesink"

  Expected result:
  * A "Bar and static" video test screen will pop up.

  Actual result:
  * Only the command in step 3 will work, the command in step 2 does not, it will cause X to crash for sometimes, error log could be found:

  Verified with the latest AMD driver(15.9, fglrx version:
  15.201-0ubuntu1)[1], this issue does not exist with it.

  As this issue will cause the camera display test and video test to
  crash (whitelist test cases), I will mark this bug as a blocker.
