This definitely is a video driver issue. Happens to me on two test machines with Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2572] (rev 02), and it happens not only with VLC, but also with mplayer and totem. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- :~$ totem /home/ascent.avi /var/lib/python-support/python2.6/gdata/tlslite/utils/cryptomath.py:9: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead import sha 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)'. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- :~$ vlc /home/ascent.avi VLC media player 0.9.9a Grishenko snip-snip [????????] x11 video output error: X11 request 132.19 failed with error code 11: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 132 (XVideo) Minor opcode of failed request: 19 () Serial number of failed request: 81 Current serial number in output stream: 82 Segmentation fault -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
