Using the free nvidia driver it seems the xorg server is not able to handle xvideo images when I set the screen to widescreen resolution. Using a standard resolution this isn't a problem (using the binary nvidia driver with FC2 this also worked). I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop which has a wider than standard screen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: [cschalle@cschalle movies]$ totem gravity.mpg Actual Results: The program 'totem' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 48 error_code 11 request_code 140 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.) Below is the xorg.conf lines I changed to cater for the wider screen.

Over a year later and this is still the case. I hope someone could take a look at this soon.
Are you experiencing the same issue with other movie playing softwares?
Ping!
I am unable to reproduce now, but I think I got it with all video playback applications way back then :) Anyway, I guess the bug is fixed now someplace or the other. Closing as fixed :)
