Description Christian Stadelmann 2015-01-17 13:42:09 UTC
Description of problem:
With kernel 3.18.2-200 I cannot play any videos in vlc any more, with kernel 3.17.* it works fine.
As far as I tested this affects VLC.
HTML5 video e.g. on youtube works fine on both kernels.

This regression is known upstreams, see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90871 for details. To test wether you are affected simply look for the line 
(EE) intel(0): Failed to submit rendering commands, disabling acceleration.
in your Xorg.log or syslog.
