when I try to start gxine or mplayer or vlc they crash.
If I run in console the message is
Code: Select all
# gxine
AFD changed from -2 to -1
The program 'gxine' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
(Details: serial 369 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.)Code: Select all
# gxine
AFD changed from -2 to -1
I googled a little and find that the badalloc errors are common and related often to xorg. Some video cards are not so smartly recognized by xorg but some changes can be done in the file xorg.conf, often some memory options can be set with the right parameters solving the problem.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a remedy for my hardware. You can see below my xorg.conf, is there anything wrong?
