I suspect you're just really low on texture memory (32MB graphics ram?). The
warning you're seeing can happen if an application tries to bind several large
textures at the same time which don't fit into the texture heap. Your xorg log
file will tell you how much memory is available for textures (note the r200 dri
driver won't use the gart texture area). You can adjust the default value of
what sizes of textures are advertized by the driver (use driconf or
"allow_large_textures=0", which will force the driver to advertize only sizes
which it can always fit into ram, even under worst-case conditions). However, if
the app does not correctly adjust the texture sizes it's going to use and uses
more than the driver announces it will fail to render correctly. If the app can
use precompressed textures, you can force that via driconf too, or install the
s3tc library (this is useful even if the app can use online compression), which
might help. If the app has some texture detail option, turn it down. Otherwise,
turning down your xorg resolution will help too, though I'd suspect even if you
manage to free up enough ram to just squeeze in all textures required at once,
performance will probably not be good enough due to frequent texture thrashing.
There's also a (quite new) xorg config option to increase the percentage
reserved for textures, though if you're really low on memory you can't increase
it any more.
