Ric,
Nothing has worked for me. I googled the error message:
X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
and tried a suggested fix - adding two lines to xorg.conf in
the:
Section "Device"
Option "VideoRam" "65536"
Option "CacheLines" "1980"
After adding those two lines I could not get X to start so I
removed them.
I don't know - do I need to do mknod for
Major opcode of failed request: 140 (XVideo)
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 ()
Is this referring to major and minor numbers of the XVideo device?
Is this a char device? a block device?
It could be my graphics card just can't handle the video.
I just have no clue.
