Description Gabriel Labelle 2005-02-01 00:13:46 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5)

Description of problem:
I've downloaded and installed latest ATI drivers from
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/fglrx_6_8_0-8.8.25-1.i386.rpm

Everything is fine when playing multimedia files (DVD, divx, mp3,
etc.) but when I try to play some High Definition films using totem or
mplayer from I get the following errors.

totem :

External func OLEAUT32.dll:8
DMO dll supports VO Optimizations 0 1
DMO dll might use previous sample when requested
GetOutput r=0x0   size:2764800  align:1
StreamCount r=0x0  1  1
Decoder supports the following YUV formats: YV12 YUY2 UYVY YVYU   
Decoder is capable of YUV output (flags 0x1b)
External func OLEAUT32.dll:7
External func OLEAUT32.dll:8
GetOutput r=0x0   size:24576  align:1
StreamCount r=0x0  1  1
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 81 error_code 11 request_code 139 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 :

Building audio filter chain for 48000Hz/2ch/16bit ->
48000Hz/2ch/16bit...
Starting playback...
X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)?,?% 0 0


MPlayer interrupted by signal 6 in module: vo_check_events
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
  gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
  DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We
can't and
  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a
possible bug.

***Note that I only get these errors when using the fglrx driver.
Everything works fine when using the vesa or radeon driver.

You can get some HD films at
http://www.hd-channel.com/index.html?/programme.html in order to
reproduce the errors.

Many thanks for your time and help.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Then it's obviously a bug/problem in the unsupported proprietary
ATI fglrx driver.  You will need to file a bug report with ATI, or
contact ATI technical support.  We only support the radeon and
vesa driver's which are shipped with the OS.
