video very bad since a day or two

[Uwe Dippel <udippel@uniten.edu.my>]

Video was great here, until a day or two back.
I installed Mplayer (from the known resources) as debian package.

The first day it worked well; since yesterday it freezes whatever I do.
So I uninstalled it. But now even xine is almost unable to play anything;
just sound, a bad / blue screen and 100% usage of memory; with crashes
(of xine) at times. Nor does it play DVD (crashes outright).
Before everything had been as fine as you may expect on a 1.4 GHz machine
with 256 MB RAM.

This is what I get when I start it from the command line (as gxine):

The program 'gxine' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
(Details: serial 134 error_code 11 request_code 142 minor_code 19)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I didn't change the XF86Config, to be complete.

A Google search brought a lot of results, but none seems to be related;
like turn off XMMS, etc.
None of those brought a solution.

Up2date to Debian Testing; here is the config:
