I upgraded from intrepid to jaunty 2 days ago. Since then, totem, vlc and mythtv all fail to display video, eg vlc with message :-

[????????] x11 video output error: X11 request 132.19 failed with error code 11:
 BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)

This was all working in intrepid, dist-upgrade using updatemanager from intrepid to jaunty.

Any idea how to fix it/work around for jjaunty?
