[Xorg] XVIDEO memory problems under Xorg

[Billy Biggs]

  Hi,

  I am wondering if someone who is familiar with Xorg vs XFree86 in
terms of XVIDEO could take a look at this bug:

  http://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=474

  Basically, users of both the ATI binary drivers and the Matrox driver
are complaining that XVIDEO applications can't be run until they shut
down pixmap-eating apps like Mozilla.  This problem does not seem to
occur under XFree86 (or at least, not nearly as frequently).  I hear a
lot of complaints from FC2 users about this bug.

  Is there something that changed in how video memory is being
allocated between the two X servers?

  Thanks,
  -Billy
