Public bug reported:
I just recently reinstalled my machine from scratch with jaunty and this
bug re-appeared (had seen it some releases ago, worked around it and
since upgraded to the next version). If I remember correctly - back then
I worked around the problem with gstreamer-gl which does not seem to be
in jaunty anymore. Where did it go?
Anyway I checked what happens if I use gstreamer-properties and played with the
Video Output Plugin.
- If X Window System (No XV) is selected I can stretch the Test Window to full
screen (maximize the window)
- If X Window System (X11/Shm/Xv) is selected gstreamer settings crashes with
the following error message
btw. it doesn't matter if I use NV17 Video Texture or NV05 Video Blitter as
the Device

m...@titan:~$ gstreamer-properties
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'artsdsink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdsink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'glimagesink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'sdlvideosink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'v4lmjpegsrc'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'qcamsrc'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdmon'
The program 'gstreamer-properties' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
(Details: serial 2200 error_code 11 request_code 133 minor_code 19)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

It seems to have to do with the width of the window and I found other
hints that people experience the problem with screen width over 2048
My screen resolution is 2560x1600 on a single monitor setup (30"). The
point is that totem-xine and totem-gstreamer crash with the same error.
Also gnome-mplayer crashes. So I think it is not a problem with the
video players but in Xv.
My Hardware is a MacPro with Nvidia Graphics Card and 30" Cinema Display
OS is Jaunty (current) with nvidia drivers 180 and compiz enabled

ii nvidia-glx-180 180.44-0ubuntu1
ii xserver-xorg 1:7.4~5ubuntu18
