error in vlc 0.8.6c-1

[sacarde]

hi,
   in archlinuxppc (current) in apple-mini
when I run vlc I have this error:

VLC media player 0.8.6c Janus
The program '.' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 198 error_code 11 request_code 146 minor_code 5)
  (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.)


what is it ?


p.s.
thi is my free:
                total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached

p.s.
some time ago it worked perfectly

thankyou

This is a bug in xorg-server. The latest xorg-server in extra contains a
patch to solve this issue in most cases, the xorg-server in testing contains
an updated patch to solve this issue completely. I guess these changes
haven't been ported to ppc yet.

That version shouldn't have this bug. The BadAlloc message is also what you
get when you have XV available, but not enough video memory to perform the
XV operation you're trying to do. I've seen this often on a Matrox G450 with
16MB memory using 1280x1024x32 with DRI enabled, which eats all available
memory for framebuffer and DRI, leaving nothing for XV.

I was unable to reproduce the vlc bug you described with the xorg
version in [extra]. The new xorg stuff is now in [testing], you might
want to try it.
