I was getting this error on a clean install of Kubuntu Jaunty on a
ThinkCentre with an Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics
Controller (rev 02) with 32MB VRAM (maxed out in BIOS) with a single
monitor running at 1680x1050. Dragon played back audio but with a solid
blue block in place of the XVideo overlay, while VLC and the xine-ui
simply exited with BadAlloc errors. I followed cleggton's instructions
in post 18 above to revert back to Intel driver version 2.4 and the
problem disappeared. Any idea what changed in the driver that would
cause this problem?
