Bug Description
The current version of fglrx in Precise has a bug that results in an X crash when playing Xv video.
This is a known issue and is expected to be fixed prior to the Precise release.
We knew of this bug before updating to this driver, but made the decision to proceed because the previous version did not work at all with 1.11 due to ABI incompatibilities. Historically, fglrx pretty much always breaks during development, because we update the xserver and then it takes some months to get a new driver from ATI. This time we're lucky in that the driver mostly works.
[Workarounds]
* Switch to -ati
* Use oneiric until this is fixed.
* Disable Xv in your xorg.conf:
Section "Extensions"
Option "XVideo" "Disable"
EndSection
[Original Report]
After the upgrade, X seems to crash every time I try to play a video.

In addition to the crashes, this version of fglrx-xserver 1.11 combo features a new problem. Chrome (chromium-browser) loses Hardware Acceleration support (verifiable by visting about:gpu in the browser.) While previously it used to work properly, now it says:
the gpu process was unable to boot.
