Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

xine, mplayer, or totem all crash when attempting to play any video file with an error like this one from xine:
This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.6cvs.
(c) 2000-2007 The xine Team.
X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request: 132 (XVideo)
  Minor opcode of failed request: 19 ()
  Serial number of failed request: 4731
  Current serial number in output stream: 4732

This worked in Intrepid and does not work since updating to the Jaunty beta this morning. I noticed it removing the xserver-xorg-video-i810 package and I can see other similar bugs saying that this has been deprecated in favor of xserver-xorg-video-intel.

mplayer -vo x11 file.avi works, so it seems very likely this is an xvideo problem.

One oddity: at first, 'mplayer file.avi' crashed immediately. After trying to run it and other video players a few times, now it opens a black window, plays the audio, and spams "X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)" to console. I didn't change any settings (cross my heart), I was just hitting up and rerunning the last couple attempts to show someone in the room.
