So creating my own modelines is pretty futile then. >> 2) Dynamically switching to a lower resolution works sometimes, but for >> the most part a window appears for a fraction of a second before >> mplayer crashes with the following message: >> >> X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) >> >> I have not been able to reliably reproduce under which conditions that >> this starts happening, though.

I never saw this problem. The problem is I still can't reproduce it reliably. One thing I have consistently seen though is that if I quit Mozilla, it works again - no need to exit X altogether. Which seems even weirder to me, perhaps some odd interaction (shared mem, libraries, ...?) between mplayer and Mozilla. So I'll let it rest until I can reliably reproduce it. Thanks for your help and clarifications. Bjorn. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
