If the defaults of the driver doesn't give you enough videomemory,

add

        Option "OverlayMem" "884736"

to your "Device" section. It'll "preallocate" memory for overlay.


The actual number is calculated something ala:


max X  *  max Y  *  depth


where X and Y is the maximum size of the clips you want to show. (Source

size.)


Of course, the "preallocated" memory isn't available for other use. Like

plain 2D. Check your /var/log/XFree86.0.log.
