Similar problem here.  
mplayer -v film.avi

gives as last 3 lines:

   vo_mga: Couldn't open /dev/mga_vid
   
   uninit audio: libmad
   vo: x11 uninit called but X11 not inited..

But permissions of /dev/mga are correct and user has group access
to /dev/mga:

$ lal /dev/mga_vid
crw-rw----  1 root video 178, 0 2005-09-08 14:13 /dev/mga_vid
$ groups 
grfz disk lp kmem dialout cdrom floppy audio dip src video staff games users


Any ideas?

Ciao, Gregor
