This sounds like MPlayer was compiled w/o mga support.
Please check with mplayer -vo help whether you really have it.
Note that ./configure checks whether /dev/mga_vid is present
to determine whether mga support is desired or not.
Please next time use the -v switch, as it gives much more information
about your system and about MPlayer.
