I've added a VideoRAM 65536 to the device section but that not changed
things.
I'm also trying to track down where in the code the BadAlloc is being
return with
little success so far. I thought I had found that I should be in
I810PutImage() in
i810_video.c but the xf86DrvMsg call I make does not appear in the log
of the
servers stdout.
What is the reason that the BadAlloc is being returned? What can I do
about it?
What more info can I provide?
try disabling the DRI. The 3d driver may be grabbing most of the vram
and not leaving much for the server.

I turned off glx and got more memory, but not enough. I then lower the
screen
res from 1024x768 to 800x600 and the alloc works. Just in time for the
Xserver
to die after reporting that the server had locked up.
Clearly I'm not going to get far with the screen res at 800x600 when playing
a 1280x720 movie. I'll want to have 1280x768 or 1366x768 as the screen
resolution. Which is going to make the memory situation worse.
Is the issue with memory a BIOS problem? Do I need a BIOS that allows
more the 8MB to be set aside for video?
