Description Andrey Zakharchenko 2011-06-29 23:20:07 UTC 
Any videoplayer using Xvideo with Intel 845G or 865G integrated video chip shows blue window and no video.

Xorg.0.log is spammed with a lot of messages:
(EE) intel(0): Failed to pin xv buffer

Mplayer leaves a lot of following lines in the terminal:
X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)

The same bug repeats with 2.7 and 2.9 intel video driver.

Fix: 

Use e.g. xf86-video-intel25 driver (port extracted from xf86-video-intel ancient history):
http://home.jscc.ru/~avz/xf86-video-intel-2.5.1.tar
How-To-Repeat: Start 'mplayer -vo xv' on i845G or i865G with xf86-video-intel or xf86-video-intel29 driver.

Is this still an issue after the recent updates to xorg? 
Have you tried KMS?

NEW_XORG with KMS on my machines needs about one second (sic!) of full
CPU load for every cursor shape change. So it may be good for video
watching (I haven't tested it really), but for ordinary work... You'll
hang yourself on every mouse move.

I think KMS is for newer chipsets only.

Had the same issue with mobile Intel 855GM and new Xorg and KMS. I think it was fixed sometime ago in 9.1-STABLE. 
It is running fine for me now (r251792).

There are reports that this is resolved in FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE.  Can you
please test that?
Regards!

KMS works with 9.2-BETA, Xvideo OK.
