[Bryce Harrington <595379@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i865 is supported on Lucid but we are not backporting fixes any longer.
We've found the driver support for the 8xx chips is quite fragile - a
fix for one particular chip can break others that are only slightly
different, so SRUs have too high a risk of regression to pursue them.

Often with random screensaver settings the flaw is due to a 3D opengl
effect triggering an underlying bug in the mesa driver for 8xx.
Disabling 3D and/or not using 3D screensavers is the workaround in this
case.  I do not know if Chrome uses opengl or 3d in any form, but if it
does it could be affected similarly.

** Summary changed:

- Sometimes in Chrome or Screensaver X-boom crash and freeze
+ [i865] Sometimes in Chrome or Screensaver X-boom crash and freeze

** Package changed: xorg-server (Ubuntu) => mesa (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: mesa (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix
