Try with VideoLAN Client 0.2.90

[Russell McOrmond]

  I have been told that my CPU (AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor @ 350Mhz) speed is
at the root of my problems, but given the type of errors I am getting I am
not yet convinced.

  The errors seem to relate to video, and not CPU.  If I can get a new
Video card rather than a whole new MB and CPU, this would be cheaper.

  This is currently a Matrox Millennium G200. I am wondering what a more
ideal video card would be, outside of the more expensive cards with MPEG
decoding within the card.

  Someone more intimate with the code may be able to determine what the
problem is from the following errors:

with: qvlc dvd:/dev/dvd
I get:  

X Error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) 11
  Major opcode:  144
X Error of failed request:  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for
operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  144 (XVideo)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  19 ()
  Serial number of failed request:  77
  Current serial number in output stream:  80


With: gnome-vlc dvd:/dev/dvd   (and gvlc)

I get:
Gdk-ERROR **: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
  serial 44 error_code 11 request_code 144 minor_code 19
