Yeah, I still get a full color OSD on the 5200 with XvMC enabled in 0.19 fixes
r9713 w/nvidia 8756. It stutters a bit when the OSD is going away, but it's 
pretty unnoticeable. Playback was to a 1440x900 LCD screen via VGA connector. 
I tried SDTV and 1080i and both worked.

Not sure why it doesn't work for you.
