When playing a particule video file[1], all video players seem to quit with the following error: (totem:27346): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_str_has_prefix: assertion `str != NULL' failed 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 128 error_code 11 request_code 141 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.) This is on Xorg 7.0.0 on Debian Unstable and has been reported as a bug on Debian[2]. The error is reproducible on xine,totem and vlc. Please let me know if any other additional information is required.

You need to add Option "LinearAlloc" "<value>" Where <value> is a size in KB for extra overlay memory, as playing large movies result in the error you received.
Thanks. With the following line added it works fine. Option "LinearAlloc" "8192"
