Well that worked. Now I can play the above video without issue. In
reading the man page it specifies the amount of memory to reserve for
2D. I guess my question is does this raise it or lower it from the
default xorg sets.

I would still be interested to hear what people have to say about my
xorg in my previous reply. Is it actually using all 64MB or is there
something more that my many hours of google searching hasn't found.
