A couple of other points that may be worth mentioning:
1) LDView can do BFC checking now (I use this all the time)

green.

Just out of curiosity, have you tried using the latest ATI drivers?  Or is it a
notebook that the manufacturer hasn't posted updated drivers for?  (I know you
emailed me about this a long time ago, but can't remember the specifics.)

Since the feature was originally developed on an ATI card (9700 pro), I know it
can work on ATI cards.  The red/green back/front faces feature uses really basic
OpenGL functionality, but ATI historically has had horrendous OpenGL drivers.
They had a lighting bug that affected LDView any time subdued lighting was
turned on with specular also enabled.  They fixed that within the last six
months.  And that was a bug in basic OpenGL lighting functionality that's been
in OpenGL since it's very beginning.
