Comment 10 for bug 528165

I'm also having the same issue (with compiz enabled) when maximizing the video player.
I'm on 9.10, NVIDIA Driver 190.32, Quadro NVS 110M (256 MB with TurboCache)

My xorg.conf is:

Section "Monitor"
 Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Default Screen"
 Monitor "Configured Monitor"
 Device "Configured Video Device"
 DefaultDepth 24
EndSection

Section "Module"
 Load "glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
 Identifier "Configured Video Device"
 Driver "nvidia"
 Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection

Note that I have
COMPIZ_OPTIONS="$COMPIZ_OPTIONS --indirect-rendering "
in /usr/bin/compiz to avoid the full-screen black windows problem

for example:

attila@blackbird:~/Desktop$ totem urka.avi
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 353 error_code 11 request_code 133 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.)
