I have the same problem, irregularly. Also xorg-x11: mplayer, avidemux2 or xine fail in circa 50% cases with Bad Alloc message. Mplayer -vo x11 works without troubles always. Once it fails, it fails always afterwards, I must restart the X-server and then it is again ok (for certain time). (My videocard: Matrox G450/32MB, DRI used, 24 bpp/1280x1024). No error in xorg.log, nor in kdm.log. I did not find any dependency or regularity, it just happens, under KDE/Enlightenment or IceWM.
I have the same problem too... but with different hardware (video card: Voodoo Bashee) so I think it's a problem of xorg-X11 (XV extension).
I haven't heard any problems with this in recent versions of MPlayer and xorg. Can you still confirm that it exists?
please provide the requested info and feel free to reopen this one if this is still an issue
Well, yep, looks it's still an issue. I have a: 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02) After upgradeing to xorg-6.8.2-r1 (from 6.8.0-r4), I started getting this error on *all* my video players. In particular I do get it with mplayer -vo xv (do not get it with x11), I also get it with totem and probably get it with xine (it does not exit with that error, but does not play anyway). I'm not using mplayer-1.0pre4 anymore, but this happens on both 1.0pre5-r5 (current stable) and 1.0pre6-r1 (current testing). The error happens on all those players when I try to play films *larger* than my screen resolution (1024x768). Smaller clips *seem* to play fine, on all the abovementioned players.

This bug appears similar to one at: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474 The above bug has been repoened. I am experiencing problems with XV unable to play high definition 1920x1080 video streams under mythtv. Lower resolution video streams play perfectly. When displaying a HD stream, mythtv repeatedly reports: X Error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) 11 Major opcode: 142 Minor opcode: 19 Resource id: 0x0 I am running linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r1, xorg 6.8.2, ATI binary Radeon X800 XL 256MB fglrx version 8.14.13, on a Pentium $ 2.4 GHz system.
I've got the same issue - X11 error: Bad Alloc when using -vo xv, no matter what the video is. If I set xorg Option "AccelMethod" to "sna" it works for about 2 seconds. Then the mplayer process dies and X process hogs the CPU.
