There is not enough graphics memory to allocate a 1920x1088 image.
Add this new option to the device section:

    # enable HD XV playback
    Option      "LinearAlloc" "6144"


You may need to increase the value if you still get bad alloc.

Oh and why is the image 1920x1088 when all the standards are
1920x1080?
