just in case curious as I have the same video card as you and was trying this
with a CVS build.
(I never did make install and just ran from the build directory)
./mplayer -v -vo xvidix file.avi
It failed for me at first
vosub_vidix: Couldn't find working VIDIX driver
because it needed
vidix/drivers/radeon_vid.so in /usr/lib/mplayer/vidix directory
made directory /usr/lib/mplayer/vidix and copied in
vidix/drivers/radeon_vid.so
as root
./mplayer -v -vo xvidix file.avi
failed
[radeon] Error occurred during pci scan: Operation not permitted
needs root permission for the direct hardware access.
it is not recommended to run mplayer as root
instead need to use svgalib_helper
I have not yet set this up myself.
source code is at
http://www.svgalib.org/
then you would load the module before running mplayer.
insmod svgalib_helper
good luck
