Is this not merely a problem with i810's offscreen allocation for XV?
See 'man i810'. I had this problem on my laptop with an 82855GM on
Dapper (or Edgy, I forget); totem used to crash when loaded with large
movies, or even without a movie due to the logo being too large, and
straining XV's memory allocation. Setting:
Option "LinearAlloc" "8160"
in 'Section "Device"' of xorg.conf should help Intel users solve this
problem.
** Also affects: xserver-xorg-video-i810 (Ubuntu)
