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.

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
xine, mplayer, or totem all crash when attempting to play any video file with
an error like this one from xine:
This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.6cvs.
(c) 2000-2007 The xine Team.
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: 4731
Current serial number in output stream: 4732
This worked in Intrepid and does not work since updating to the Jaunty beta
this morning. I noticed it removing the xserver-xorg-video-i810 package and I
can see other similar bugs saying that this has been deprecated in favor of
xserver-xorg-video-intel.
mplayer -vo x11 file.avi works, so it seems very likely this is an xvideo
problem.
One oddity: at first, 'mplayer file.avi' crashed immediately. After trying to
run it and other video players a few times, now it opens a black window, plays
the audio, and spams "X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for
operation)" to console. I didn't change any settings (cross my heart), I was
just hitting up and rerunning the last couple attempts to show someone in the
room.
