Details

When starting totem-xine, I get a few seconds of the Totem window and a busy cursor, and then a crash, with no Gnome error message. Console output is this:

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 85 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.)

This strikes me as rather absurd, as my RAM wasn't even half full. And FWIW, I don't have any shadowing options enabled in my BIOS, e.g. "Copy video BIOS to shadow RAM" (those being quite unnecessary these days).
This task depends upon

Okay, if I increase my shared VRAM to the maximum it doesn't crash... It's just incredibly, unbelievably slow at rendering images. As in, displaying the Xine logo takes 5 seconds. No trouble other than that though. And still no clue what's going on, except for this engimatic message:

** (totem:3180): WARNING **: Trying to connect to an older version of the GNOME screensaver

Most video players will do things like colorspace conversions in video memory. If you allocate only 8MB RAM, use DRI and have a resolution of 1280x1024, then nothing of your video RAM is left to do any XV operations, so yes, no resources are available anymore.
