915gm/945gm/XAA lockup playing Xv video a second time (after mode-switch)

[Peter Clifton]

There is another bug I've hit with the intel driver, where playing Xv
video at first works, then after a mode-switch (say to VT1 and back),
attempting to play Xv will result in a blue overlay and some seconds
afterwards, a GPU lockup.

The following seems to fix it for me by forcing a reset of the Xv regs
after a mode-switch (Does the reset to VT1 clears them?), however I'm
not sure whether it is a "fix" or a "workaround":

        pPriv->overlayOK = FALSE;
+       pPriv->current_crtc = NULL;
        pPriv->oneLineMode = FALSE;
     }
 }

NB: This is on Ubuntu, which has a patch to force the Xv to use the
hardware overlay for XV. If that patch isn't present, I get a BadAlloc
when the driver tries textured video.

(I have a 1400x1050 display.. on a 945GM is that too big for textured
video?)
