Thanks for the help. I think I've pinpointed the source of the problem. I had set the CacheLines parameter in my xorg.conf as part of a tutorial for a dual monitor setup. Also had the PageFlip parameter set. Both of these seem to be big no-nos for video playback with the intel card.
Removed them and can now play video. Using AccelMethod EXA also works if CacheLines if these parms are not set. In short, I just removed all the nonstandard configuration options in the card's device section and that took care of things. Hopefully dual monitor will still work ok. Will find out tomorrow. -- totem crashes with 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)' when using compiz and xserver-xorg-video-intel driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111257 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
