Something happened with the updates I did today (it was a couple of days I didn't update, say from Friday). Now I supposedly have xvideo support (see attached output of xvinfo, until yesterday it gave me "No adapters present"), however things got worse!
The whole system is mostly unusable: using Firefox or other applications (like Deluge or gedit, don't ask me why) brings the cpu to 100%. Browsing to a new page takes 10-15 seconds. Let's not mention opening a file chooser dialog! Looking with "top" shows Xorg being the culprit: all windows redrawing are painfully slow. I believe that this fix or another related fix brought us xvideo support, but for some reason the allocated area is wrong. If I try to launch totem, it always crashes with: The program 'totem' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 94 error_code 11 request_code 132 minor_code 19) (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.) Mplayer shows a blue screen, and prints a long list of: VO: [xv] 1024x768 => 1024x768 Planar YV12 [fs] X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)0.6% 1 0 X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) ** Attachment added: "Output of xvinfo" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33059258/xvinfo.txt -- [i855] No Xv support for 82852/855GM (KMS bug) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395932 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
