[Bug 367546] Re: [i865] [Jaunty] - Can not start tvtime (it was working in intrepid)

[Geir Ove Myhr]

** Description changed:

+ Hardware accelerated video playback does not work on i865 chipsets,
+ since hardware acceleration has been disabled for that chipset due to
+ bug 317457 ([i865G] 82865G freeze, works only with dri false). Video
+ players usually play video using XV, but XV requires DRI and DRI has
+ been disabled. Some video players (like totem) can play video without XV
+ (at a performance cost), but tvtime requires XV and therefore does not
+ work in this chipset.

  Tvtime won't start in ubuntu 9.04, it show the following error message:
  
  Cannot allocate enough off-screen video memory.  This may be fixed by:
  
        1. Closing or restarting large X applications.
        2. Lowering the input width of tvtime (--inputwidth parameter).
        3. Lowering your colour depth or highest configured resolution.
        4. Increasing the amount of video memory in your X config file
           (for example, if you are using the i810 XFree86 driver.)
  
      See http://tvtime.net/ for more information.
