Same exact problem for me ; xv stopped working with the "X11 error: BadAlloc" thing after upgrading to jaunty. Adding Driver 'intel' doesn't make any difference. Playing videos with x11 is awfully slow on this machine, sometimes even in 800x600, so it's not an acceptable fallback. I'm convinced that this is related to the version of the intel driver ; I tried to downgrade but couldn't make X run with an older version. Couldn't the 8.10 version be backported and made available in jaunty as a workaround ? The bug is very annoying.
