I followed the guide in this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449
but I didn't use steps 3-5 cause I'm not interested in video or sound editing at the moment.
I did however install vlc using
sudo apt-get install vlc.
I downloaded a video and when I try to play it, vlc opens and closes.
I ran vlc through the terminal with -vvv and it says the following:

[????????] x11 video output error: X11 request 140.19 failed with error code 11:
BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 140 (XVideo)
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 ()
Serial number of failed request: 82
Current serial number in output stream: 83
The one thing that I see is the "insufficient resources for operation".
The first thing that comes into my head is that I didn't activate the proprietary drivers for my ATI card (x1400 XT 256meg). I was reading about the FGLRX drivers and I wasn't sure I should install them.
What do you guys think?
I could be completely wrong though haha.....
My system specs:
Ubuntu 8.10
2 gigs of ram.
160 gig hard drive (40 allocated to ubuntu and 2 of that for swap)
Let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks!
