  1. This is a known bug in Ubuntu 14.10. The recommended workaround is to launch Chrome from the command line with:

    LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=1 google-chrome

  2. The cause for chromium segfaulting seems to be a bug in the intel drivers when using DRI3 and DRI2. This thread http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2014-July/049572.html

    You could use a more recent kernel with the patches applied or wait for the patches to be included in the standard kernel.
