This issue is still/again present in Jaunty Jackalope. The problem occurs with totem-gstreamer, but also with VLC player and mplayer. This can be circumvented by not using Xvideo (all players have options for this), e.g. use:
mplayer -vo gl mplayer -vo x11 (as suggested in Bug 493360) Here is the relevant section of the XOrg.log file: (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "SEC", prod id 21569 (II) intel(0): Using hsync ranges from config file (II) intel(0): Using vrefresh ranges from config file (II) intel(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: (II) intel(0): Modeline "1280x800"x0.0 69.30 1280 1328 1360 1419 800 803 809 816 -hsync -vsync (48.8 kHz) (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "SEC", prod id 21569 (II) intel(0): xf86BindGARTMemory: bind key 2 at 0x07330000 (pgoffset 29488) (II) intel(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory: unbind key 2 (EE) intel(0): Failed to pin xv buffer (EE) intel(0): Failed to pin xv buffer (EE) intel(0): Failed to pin xv buffer -- MPlayer receives BadAlloc when playing very large movies using Xv https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38939 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
