Comment 3 for bug 126207

X continued to run. I can play video using vlc and totem-gstreamer (although the last one shows weird colors), but not with xine or totem-xine. I can't even start them without a video file. xine produces the following output:

This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.5.
(c) 2000-2007 The xine Team.
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request: 140 (XVideo)
  Minor opcode of failed request: 14 ()
  Serial number of failed request: 2407
  Current serial number in output stream: 2407

Totem dies with this output:

Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'totem' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 42 error_code 8 request_code 140 minor_code 14)
  (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.)
aborting...
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

However, there is no core file in the current directory.

Unfortunately I can not use the ati driver, because it doesn't support my graphics chipset. I could try the vesa driver, but IIRC it doesn't support xv.
