Comment 27 for bug 130696

You can see in the error message, "The program 'totem' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program." In other words, it's probably a bug in the program (totem).

The way the error messages are worded, it sounds like an X bug, but actually those are error messages returned to programs making bad X calls.

The reason that the issue shows up with -fglrx with 3D but not in other drivers, is likely more due to totem being unable to use its 3D code with those drivers and thus is not making the same calls. The workarounds/troubleshooting folks have done so far seems to support this hypothesis, since the things they're disabling are 3D specific and may not work anyway in the other drivers.

Further, I'm wondering if some of the people saying they have the "same" issue are actually seeing separate issues that simply share the same symptoms. If your error messages and symptoms don't 100% match the original poster, please submit a new bug.
