Commenting out lines 939 to 942 in videoout_opengl.cpp will force the
video to be colour converted in software. -v playback logging should
tell you that it is falling back to software conversion and shortly
afterwards will tell you its creating two textures and a fragment
program for the osd.

I've just tried it with an FX5200 displaying standard def PAL at
1680x1050 - and the results weren't great! That said my whole
development box is old and is really struggling since I've upgraded to
a larger/widescreen monitor. You may have better results - and the
6800 may well do the trick.
