No.  I think mplayer is trying to find my output device... I'm not
trying to output to anything in particular... I thought the ./configure
would auto detect my video hardware and set the correct configuration

No.. as before.. I did not specify a particular device.. thought mplayer
would find it.

Yes I realize that... I don't understand why mplayer doesn't understand
my video hardware... it's mplayer that is trying these video devices...
not me.... should I have specified something in the ./configuration for
my video hardware?

No luck with -vo xv option... but a new window for the video doesn't
even pop up.  There should be a new window that pops up to contain the
video...

One thing I noticed is that the driver that mplayer (radeon) identifies
is different than the driver Ubuntu is using... ATI Radeon fglrx (ati -
ATI Mach 8, Mach32, mach64, and Rage... I think this may the problem...
mplayer identifies my card correctly but may not me talking to the
correct driver... because Ubuntu is using a different driver  Is there a
way to make mplayer get the video information from Ubuntu instead of
trying to figure it out by itself?
