When I try to run 'cheese' from the command line, I get the following:
(cheese:6083): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'cheese' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
(Details: serial 177 error_code 11 request_code 149 (unknown) minor_code 2)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Trace/breakpoint trap
Googling the error seems to show that this might be a problem with my graphics card, but I've been struggling to figure out how to change the settings successfully. The way X/lightdm/etc have all changed so much recently has made it difficult to figure out what forum posts are still relevant.
My graphics card is: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
I'm running 14.10
