Post your command line, build log and compiler version here (actually,
follow bugreports.html) or file a report in MPlayer's bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.mplayerhq.hu/ . We'll take it from there.

As for hardware decoding, I assume you mean hardware scaling and
colourspace conversion. It should work with Xvideo extension on your
Radeon (it is supported on ppc, isn't it?). We need more details here,
too.
