When I install Intel drivers 2.6.3 - 2.7.1, it is not possible to play any video. The player shows blue rectangle Instead of video. And mplayer writes X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) and in the Xorg.0.log is message (EE) intel(0): Failed to pin xv buffer The only thing what helps is changing the playing driver from xv to x11, but it is not solution, because it is slow. I tried to set AccelMethod XAA and EXA, nothing helps (when using UXA xserver use 100% of cpu, but it is another bug). I use gentoo kernel 2.6.30-rc6, mesa-7.5_rc2, xorg-server-1.5.3-r6, intel drivers 2.6.3 - 2.7.1,
Assuming you are using video overlay port, that's bug#21820. You should be able to use textured video port if your chipset is post-915. Check xvinfo to see if you have textured video port. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 21820 ***
