Comment 6 for bug 201596

Running Ubuntu Hardy (with kernel 2.6.24-11-generic), using xserver-xorg-video-intel version 2:2.2.1-1ubuntu4 , xvideo output is not available when enabling compiz.

With the latest update for the driver hardware overlay was introduced and texture video disabled, but brought no change on this.

Using XAA, the video does not show up, instead an error message appears on the console:

X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)

Using the default EXA acceleration, the video playback starts, but is balls-achingly slow.

Using a low resolution video you may not notice this bug at first on a laptop panel, it will be just laggy and cause a high CPU load.
I'm using an external monitor (with 1680x1050 resolution). Putting even a low resolution video to full-screen results in a playback with approx. 0.5 FPS.

I tried (as suggested here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=707473) to use xserver-xgl, but brought no change on the issue.

Everything else works fine, only Xv is unusable (both with XAA and EXA), but only if compiz is enabled. Also reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/201596 .
