Binary package hint: totem
When running Beryl, if I open a movie in totem and try to play it in fullscreen mode, totem crashes. It happens both with totem-gstreamer and totem-xine. I tried running totem from the command prompt to see if it would output anything when crashing. Here is the output:
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 371 error_code 11 request_code 140 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.)
I experience similar bug with almost any video that is sent to fullscreen : Totem videos and visualizations, mplayer videos.
mplayer with xv driver mode crashes, with sdl driver it crashes Xorg.
