Bug#425882: xserver-xorg-video-i810: Out of video RAM with a 256 MB Intel GMA 950
Package: xserver-xorg-video-i810
Version: 2:2.0.0-1
Severity: important
256 MB should be enough memory; nevertheless, Beryl is extremely slow, eg, for resizing windows.
Furthermore, an AVI video cannot be played on Beryl (totem crashes), and cannot in Metacity either unless you use xine from the experimental branch
(I submitted bugs #425451 and #425464 to totem and were redirected here, I propose them to be merged with the new one I am submitting now).
xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting from experimental does not work on my computer. xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting from unstable works OK; Beryl
is lightweight and AVIs can be played on Beryl. The only problem is that the colours inside the AVI video are horrible (all colours too yellowish, I
think).
