Hi,

I've encountered the same problem. :/
Seems like we need libdrm-dev 2.4.16 or some other version before that.

But I also tested libgl1-mesa-dri 7.6.1 from snapshot.debian.org which
works with current youtube videos and doesn't even crash Adobe Flash
player and Iceweasel when opening more than one such tab (unlike
libgl1-mesa-dri >= 7.8), so I'll try to bisect from that point to 7.7 too.
Apparently this gpu softreset issue is specific to the mesa 7.7
development line.

I attached my git-bisect logs for reference.
(git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/lib/mesa)

By the way:
The 'proper fix' in commit 5997501ca0d0c905025bc2a840e48e2176d64ea3
has only been partly applied to mesa-7.7.1 ... that seems odd.

Kind regards,

Matthias
