 So you won't have any output to screen !
 This probably means you are using a matrox card.
 Mplayer ships a special video driver for matrox ( and not only ).
 As it's a driver ( module ) , you need to recompile it with your kernel
 headers ( If you're using stock redhat kernel probably someone already
 compiled it for this kernel). Then the device /dev/mga_vid needs to be
 created, and accessible by you as user.
 Anyway, it's all in the doc.

You can whatever, if you don't need matrox optimisations, use the -vo xv
parameters so by default it may run
