[Matteo Settenvini <matteo-ml@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Something happened with the updates I did today (it was a couple of days I didn't update, say from Friday).
Now I supposedly have xvideo support (see attached output of xvinfo, until yesterday it gave me "No adapters present"), however things got worse!

The whole system is mostly unusable: using Firefox or other applications (like Deluge or gedit, don't ask me why) brings the cpu to 100%. Browsing to a new page takes 10-15 seconds. Let's not mention opening a file chooser dialog!
Looking with "top" shows Xorg being the culprit: all windows redrawing are painfully slow.

I believe that this fix or another related fix brought us xvideo
support, but for some reason the allocated area is wrong. If I try to
launch totem, it always crashes with:

The program 'totem' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 94 error_code 11 request_code 132 minor_code 19)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Mplayer shows a blue screen, and prints a long list of:

VO: [xv] 1024x768 => 1024x768 Planar YV12  [fs]
X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)0.6% 1 0 
X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
