Comment 7 for bug 269357

I have the same problem on a 256M ram box with xorg 7.0 and i815 onboard video.
I had tha same problem on home box (NVidia card there) with older X, but I
upgraded ram to 256M+512M and it stopped to happen. On to bug report.

Trying to run "mplayer -v valles3d_hd.wmv" says:

mplayer -v -vo x11, which does not use XVideo, works fine.

diff -u mplayer_xvideo.log mplayer_x11.log:
