I have the same problem. My card is a nVidia 660GT with 128MB. I'm using Ubuntu Hardy and I tried with the Nvidia restricted drivers 169.12, 173.14.12 (envyng) and the latest 177.80 (from the nvidia web).
I can reproduce the problem whenever I want, I think it's related with the amount of texture memory used. I'm using a resolution of 1920x1200 and when I have a few windows opened I can't watch videos in fullscreen, Totem, Mplayer and VLC just die with a BadAlloc error. If I have a lot of windows opened I can't even watch the video at all, the players close with the same error before the video is shown. But if I minimize all the windows, I can play the video in fullscreen, and when the video is playing I can re-maximize the previously minimized windows and the video will keep playing (sometimes it fails too). I'm only having this problem with compiz enabled. ** Attachment added: "gdb-totem.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18302085/gdb-totem.txt -- Compiz gets into a state where going fullscreen in apps causes an X11 BadAlloc error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194638 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
