Yes, the 2048 max width is a known issue on i945 and really is a
hardware limitation, but we can track the upstream bug in case they come
up with a clever solution some day.

The video players should probably not crash but rather display a
friendly error message, but that's probably best handled via separate
bug reports against each player.

** Summary changed:

- [i945gm] all video players crash with BadAlloc error (no Compiz)
+ [i945gm] all video players crash with BadAlloc error (no Compiz, Xv) if Virtual width > 2048.
