[Bug 353023] [NEW] [jaunty] X crashes when playing video (but not only then) (Intel 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML)

[Björn Tillenius]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I have a Sony Vaio TZ (22VN), with graphics chip Intel 945GM/GMS,
943/940GML and X crashes time from time. Sometimes it simply displays
garbled graphics, and it doesn't quite crash, but I have to restart the
server. However, if I try to play a video using mplayer and the xv
driver, I consistently get garbled graphics and the server is restarted.

If I try to play a video using totem, I don't get a server crash, but it
fails with this error:

"""
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 82 error_code 11 request_code 132 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.)
