The program 'totem' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
(Details: serial 60 error_code 11 request_code 140 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.)
My system memory is maxed out (indicated as 377.3 mb). Could this be the
problem?

Are you using totem-xine or totem-gstreamer? With or without compiz? I
ask because I had to take special measures to get both of them working
with compiz.
I;m running totem-gstreamer but not compiz. My old Dell OptiPlex
wouldn't handle anything that nice.
Try running gstreamer-properties, click on the 'Video' tab, and
experiment with the output settings. Hopefully you will find one which
tests succesfully.
