>Description:
Since a recent portupgrade (which completed without problems) both VLC and gmplayer (both of which previously worked flawlessly) consistently fail to play video, failing with the same X error in both cases:

steff at desktop:~ $ vlc dr.who.school.reunion.S28.E03.avi
VLC media player 0.8.5 Janus
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  78 (X_CreateColormap)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  18
  Current serial number in output stream:  19

The gui-less mplayer continues to work fine.

I am using X.org 6.9.0 from ports with the nvidia driver. I am also using Xinerama.
