Há um tempo que venho percebendo problemas para executar vídeos com o Totem/Mplayer em meu notebook.

Esta a tentar assistir o vídeo do Marcelo e estes programas insistiam em finalizar sozinhos acusando o erro de alocação de recursos. A mensagem era a seguinte:

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.


Entrei várias referências a este problema, mas o que resolveu mesmo foi a solução que encontrei no fórum do fedora: Reconfigurar o drive i810, usado pela placa de vídeo, com a opção LinearAlloc.

E o Xorg.conf ficou assim:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller"
Driver "i810"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Option "LinearAlloc" "8160"
EndSection


E está pronto. Claro, só vai fucionar para quem usa i810. Mas já ajuda aos paraquedistas que caírem por aqui com o mesmo erro.
