Comment 8 for bug 269357

This looks like a duplicate of https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2445
but I'm confused by the last comment from Matthew Tippett, saying it should be
fixed.
I also get the same problem with an intel 855 gm card and xorg 7.1 trying to
play Elephants_Dream_HD.avi available here :
http://orange.blender.org/download

mplayer crash with the BadAlloc error :
...
VO: [xv] 1920x1080 => 1920x1080 Planar YV12
...
X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)

Xine crash with only : xiTK received SIGSEGV signal, RIP.

mplayer allow to scale down the resolution, and at 800x600 the movie plays fine:
$ mplayer -vf scale=800:600 Elephants_Dream_HD.avi
...
VO: [xv] 800x600 => 1066x600 Planar YV12
...

The limit seems to be somewhere between 800x600 and 1024x768, which is still
quite far from 1920x1080.
I don't know if this information is relevant and what it exactly means :
$ xvinfo |grep max
    maximum XvImage size: 1920 x 1080

The i810 driver can benefit from the CacheLines option, by adding this in
xorg.conf :
Option "CacheLines" "1024"

With the following, I can still not play the movie at its native 1920x1080
resolution, but with mplayer scaling it down at 1024x768 , it works.

Apparently, the default for CacheLines is 512, and it can go up to 1040 with an
intel 855 GM chipset.
