I attempted to test this bug but was unable to use my external monitor at all. I've reported Bug 430021 and will test when that bug is resolved.
-- [i945gm] all video players crash with BadAlloc error (no Compiz, Xv) if Virtual width > 2048. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359831 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support. Status in Mactel Support: New Status in X.org xf86-video-intel: Fix Released Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: 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.
