Bug Description

Hi

I have a widescreen monitor (1440x900) and in order to use it in feisty (x86) I've installed the xserver-xorg-video-intel since 915resolution didn't work out of the box. With this driver I can have maximum resolution and everything seems to work fine, including using video applications (like totem), the problem arises when I'm using compiz and I try to use a video application (totem playing a video or launching pitivi for example).

As said I'm using feisty x86 up to date on a intel x3000 video card.

thanks

I have the same issue with using the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver in Ubuntu 7.04. Last night I changed drivers and just noticed this issue on my laptop. I have changed back to the xserver-xorg-vide-i810 along and using 915resolution to get 1280x800 on my screen, which is a work around. The reason I tried changing to this driver is because using i810 only gave me two choices for changing resolution in Gnome.

I get this even with small videos (320x200) if played multiple times with
mplayer, which suggest a video memory leak. (totem can't open them anymore too after this occurs)

@Albert

I'm not sure if that is the same bug, if you say you're experiencing
it with 915resolution. The bug that has been reported here (at least
in my case) does NOT involve 915resolution (in fact, that's when stuff
works), but rather with the xserver-xorg-video-intel package/driver,
not the xserver-xorg-video-i810 + 915resolution package/driver/patch
combo.

Now, i have the intel driver (without 915resolution), and works fine for my
resolution.
However, with Compiz or Beryl running, still without can't play videos in
any video player.

Now, i can confirm the bug is with the xserver-xorg-video-intel
package/driver.

Thanks for the info.

I can confirm this behaviour too; it only happens when compiz is running. It happens with even just a tiny crappy mobile phone video, so it's not related to hd output. If I kill compiz with 'metacity --replace' running the same video then works.

This is with compiz 0.5.0 and the Debian 2.0.0 xserver-xorg-video-intel package on an 915GM/GMS/910GML. I have a very un-fancy xorg.conf with

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller"
        Driver "intel"
        BusID "PCI:0:2:0"

        Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
        Option "DRI" "true"

Does it happen without this option? (Fedora might still be using the hack to disable XAA offscreen pixmaps when starting a GLX compositing manager)

Although I'm using Debian, if I turn this option off none of my terminal window contents get painted, but running "blind" the same thing happens when I try to play a video anyway.

Oh, right. We still have the chance to BadAlloc with XAA, because XAA has no mechanism to force pixmaps into framebuffer. The alternative would be to just violate the composite extension requirements and draw to the front buffer like we used to, but nobody likes that either.

Fine! It worked for me!!

Confirmed: the command is gsreamer-properties.

I went to the video tab, I selected "Default Output -> Plugin: X Window
System ( No XV )," and now works fine with Totem.
Only for totem. Not for mplayer neither VLC. Then, is reconfirmed that the
point is in the video output selected.

Thanks.

I've experienced this problem too, in my normal x-session with beryl+kde all attempts to use Xv fails with the BadAlloc error message.
I've tested to comment out all Options to the intel driver in my xorg.conf, and starting the X server with only an xterm in it, then Xv playback works. If i start beryl it breaks, when i kill beryl it works again. The same goes for xcompmgr.

I've tested with both xserver-xorg-video-intel version 2.0.0-1ubuntu2 and a git snapshot from 2007-06-18 with the same results.

Subjectively, turning on EXA seems to slow down scrolling in Firefox a bit, but
glxgears shows the same level of performance, so it might just be me. But it
does let me use compositing and Xv at the same time (i.e. watching videos under
Compiz).

Without EXA, even playing a sound file would crash Totem with the default
settings (visualization is turned on by default).

Should system-config-display automatically turn on EXA for some whitelisted list
of system configurations?

Ok, it appears now Xv is not working not only with Compiz which is my case
#440262.

But the difference is that I didn't have such problems with Xorg from
December 2007/January 2008:

xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-39.fc8.i386
xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.1.1-7.fc8.i386

In fact Xv was working great with "intel" driver even with high definition
video files with 1920x1080 resolution.
At this point the new Xorg 1.4 appeared in rawhide.
My latest check with newer drivers was around February, but can't find
exact version as of this time. The problem then was that with EXA which was
chosen as default is very slow. Changing to XAA resulted to distorted fonts
in terminals but the video was playable with Xv. Then I switched back to older
version.
As of one-two weeks ago I changed Xorg to the latest in rawhide again and
noticed the problem which I've reported here as bug #440262.
The problem is somewhere in the updates from the last 1-2 months, not as
with #239125 a year ago.

x11 and gl2 video output drivers work (slow, and with compositing enabled gl2

I've noticed this bug on upstream bugzilla which seems to be similar:

I'll try the latest driver (as suggested by davem) to see if it's better and

I can't get this to build, configure craps out on me saying
./configure: line 20451: syntax error near unexpected token `XINERAMA,'
./configure: line 20451: `XORG_DRIVER_CHECK_EXT(XINERAMA, xineramaproto)'

Naked driver, btw, no patches ported from the rawhide driver, following the

I wouldn't worry about upstream vs. RH build, this is almost certainly just
using EXA vs XAA. (check your logs.)

I've just rebased rawhide rpm to the new version and it builds OK (but I need to

Ok, as promised, here's the SPRM:

http://mso.fedorapeople.org/rawhide/xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.2.99.903-0.1.fc9.src.rpm

The changes are: removed patch 6,7 and 10 (seems they were just backports from
git), edited patch 5, added libIntelXvMC.so* libs.

I have yet to test, whether it works...

The update to 2.2.99.903 didn't solved the problem, but I noticed that XAA was
used. So I switched to EXA, which makes videos playable in mplayer with -vo xv
again, but HD (720p) is being quickly desynced with sound (and enabling
framedropping does not help)...

This is still broken in the default Fedora-9-Preview install, and adding:

to xorg.conf fixes it.

Not that I know of. You can always try frobbing the config option, of course.

xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.2.1-22.fc9 also contains a fix for the XAA case, so overlay
video should work no matter what now (although obviously it won't blend
correctly when compositing).

Tested on i865, closing.

Hi,
I have some high-def video trailers I downloaded via azureus and I
can't play them on F9 Preview (with all codecs installed).

I have been running Rawhide for some time now and when I saw this bug
I thought it could be something I did so I did a clean install of F9
Preview and installed fluendo codecs for totem, and also installed vlc
and mplayer (with codecs) from livna.

None player can play these mkv files that I can play without any
problems under Fedora 8 with all of mentioned video players.

I have Intel graphic chip:
Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 03)

To reproduce this bug do this:
1. yum install azureus
2. start azureus
3. download some high-def video trailer (Iron Man for example)
4. install video player + codecs (vlc, mplayer, totem + fluendo codecs
- take your pick)
5. play high-def video

I get these errors:
