Same problem here.
System is a matrox g400. Everything worked just great with XFree but
breaks with x.org.
However, the problem is also partly color-depth dependant.
running mplayer on 24bit depth gives the following error:

"VO: [xv] 352x240 => 352x264 Planar YV12
X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)  0.0% 2 0 39%
MPlayer interrupted by signal 6 in module: flip_page"

running in 16bit colordepth makes mplayer able to play movies.

however, opening xmms, mozilla or any other application that uses a
lot of pixmaps prevents mplayer from playing the files in 16bit
colordepth.


Billy Riggs from tvtime adds the following:

<vektor_wrk> i suspect someone broke the memory allocator with dri somehow
<vektor_wrk> xmms must be using a lot of pixmaps.
<vektor_wrk> Like, the problem is that XVIDEO should preempt any
pixmaps in video memory, I think.
<vektor_wrk> Since pixmaps can be stored in system RAM, but XVIDEO
surfaces cannot.
<vektor_wrk> XVIDEO must take priority.
