[Bug 359831] Re: [i945gm] all video players crash with BadAlloc error (no Compiz)

 

This bug only happens when I put the subsection

SubSection "Display"
		Virtual	2560 1024
EndSubSection

inside my Screen section in xorg.
The compiz also cant work because of this change.
Using the limit of width every thing works fine.
The -vo option works well to

I'm using the x86-64 arch

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
  
  xine, mplayer, or totem all crash when attempting to play any video file with an error like this one from xine:
  This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.6cvs.
  (c) 2000-2007 The xine Team.
  X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
    Major opcode of failed request:  132 (XVideo)
    Minor opcode of failed request:  19 ()
    Serial number of failed request:  4731
    Current serial number in output stream:  4732
  
  This worked in Intrepid and does not work since updating to the Jaunty
  beta this morning. I noticed it removing the xserver-xorg-video-i810
  package and I can see other similar bugs saying that this has been
  deprecated in favor of xserver-xorg-video-intel.
  
  mplayer -vo x11 file.avi works, so it seems very likely this is an
  xvideo problem.
  
  One oddity: at first, 'mplayer file.avi' crashed immediately. After
  trying to run it and other video players a few times, now it opens a
  black window, plays the audio, and spams "X11 error: BadAlloc
  (insufficient resources for operation)" to console. I didn't change any
  settings (cross my heart), I was just hitting up and rerunning the last
  couple attempts to show someone in the room.
