Is this not merely a problem with i810's offscreen allocation for XV? See 'man i810'. I had this problem on my laptop with an 82855GM on Dapper (or Edgy, I forget); totem used to crash when loaded with large movies, or even without a movie due to the logo being too large, and straining XV's memory allocation. Setting:
Option "LinearAlloc" "8160" in 'Section "Device"' of xorg.conf should help Intel users solve this problem. ** Also affects: xserver-xorg-video-i810 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- gstreamer crashes due to BadAlloc response from xv https://launchpad.net/bugs/39050 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
