I've downloaded and installed latest ATI drivers from
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/f...8.25-1.i386.rpm

Everything is fine when playing multimedia files (DVD, divx, mp3, etc.) but when
I try to play some High Definition films using totem or mplayer from I get the
following errors...

totem :

External func OLEAUT32.dll:8
DMO dll supports VO Optimizations 0 1
DMO dll might use previous sample when requested
GetOutput r=0x0 size:2764800 align:1
StreamCount r=0x0 1 1
Decoder supports the following YUV formats: YV12 YUY2 UYVY YVYU  
Decoder is capable of YUV output (flags 0x1b)
External func OLEAUT32.dll:7
External func OLEAUT32.dll:8
GetOutput r=0x0 size:24576 align:1
StreamCount r=0x0 1 1
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 81 error_code 11 request_code 139 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.)

mplayer :

Building audio filter chain for 48000Hz/2ch/16bit ->
48000Hz/2ch/16bit...
Starting playback...
X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)?,?% 0 0

MPlayer interrupted by signal 6 in module: vo_check_events
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We
can't and
won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a
possible bug.

Steps to Reproduce:

1- Install/Configure latest ATI drivers (fglrx_6_8_0-8.8.25-1.i386.rpm);
2- Use the fglrx driver instead of vesa or radeon (I only get these errors when
using the fglrx driver, everything works fine when using the vesa or radeon driver);
3- Try to play a HD movie (You can get some HD films at
http://www.hd-channel.com/index.html?/programme.html in order to reproduce the
errors).

Many thanks for your time and help.
