Can't help much (never had an Ati card) but I've heard of this problem
before, it's not just you ;-)
Try 16 bit desktop
Try OpenGL
Try running gpl in a window
If software mode works okay chances are it's not gpl at fault but some
driver setting. If software mode (or OpenGL) doesn't solve it try playing
with the core.ini D3D settings.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

There is a fix for this, I just can't think of it at the moment... something
to do with the directmirror rendering? -I'll try to find it in the
morning...

The setting is in the core.ini and IIRC setting this to 0 on an Ati card
does fix a common problem, possibly this one ;-)
For any nVidia or 3dfx card it should be set to 1 for best performance. A
modern card should easily have enough horsepower to make up for this & other
optimisations (Z-buffer etc) if they are causing compatibility problems.

How did you solve the problerm?
Green blocks around the text is a common D3D problem. Try OpenGL.
