Can you give the exact output. That should help.
On my old Pentium II Linux system (without soundcard) playing XviD content
will do something like this:

Playing
/home/agerrits/nfsroot/content/DivX/Porsche_996_Turbo_2000_132x176.avi
Detected AVI file format!

MPlayer often gives clear error-messages about what is going on. See for
instance the not be able to open the soundcard on my system (because it
isn't there. :-) ).

A default-compilation should be able to play DicX/XviD content.
