[xvimagesink] X Error: BadAlloc
Last modified: 2005-08-29 15:43:34 UTC
A Debian user (and developper :) reported at <http://bugs.debian.org/290990> a problem with xvimagesink, quoting him: $ gst-launch-0.8 filesrc location=warty-dance.avi '!' ffmpegcolorspace \ '!' xvimagesink RUNNING pipeline ... X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 141 (XVideo) Minor opcode of failed request: 19 () Serial number of failed request: 49 Current serial number in output stream: 50 $ It seems this is specific to his X driver, he's using the nv driver with a: nVidia GeForce FX Go5700, PCI id 10de:0347 (rev a1) I tried to ask for basic tests I could think of, and I'm about to suggest the submitter to subscribe here and try: gst-launch-0.8 videotestsrc ! video/x-raw-yuv, format=\(fourcc\)I420 ! xvimagesink and: gst-launch-0.8 videotestsrc ! video/x-raw-yuv, format=\(fourcc\)YUY2 ! xvimagesink I wonder if #147883 could help debug this. Submitter updated to xserver-xfree86 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10.
He said he got the same results with the commands I mentionned, and reassigned the bug to xserver-xfree86 in Debian, since it had more chances to be a xfree/driver bug than a gstreamer bug.
If he has a nvidia card and widescreen laptop, it's indeed an X.org bug. There's already a bug report there, and also one in redhat bugzilla... Can I close this as 'NOTGNOME' then?
I think you can close it if you're already aware of this bug (ie it wouldn't help other reporters). (I'm interested in the other references you mention though! thanks)
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1616 is the upstream bug. Current fix is using commerical Nvidia driver.
Thanks! (I'm closing here.)
