[MPlayer-users] first time... lots of errors

I've just installed mplayer on a linux box but am having trouble  
playing a movie. I don't expect some to fix this for me, but I'm just  
looking for some pointers as to what I need to do to sort this out.  
It seems to me that there are a few different errors here:

1) It's looking in /usr/local/etc/mplayer for various configuration  
files, but there aren't any there. Do I need these files?

2) [VO_SUB_VIDIX] Couldn't find working VIDIX driver.

Details of my installed hardware are:

05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60  
[Radeon X300 (PCIE)] (prog-if 00 [VGA])
         Subsystem: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 0f02
         Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
         Memory at d8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
         I/O ports at 6c00 [size=256]
         Memory at fd7f0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
         [virtual] Expansion ROM at fd700000 [disabled] [size=128K]
         Capabilities: <access denied>

05:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Radeon X300SE]
         Subsystem: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 0f03
         Flags: fast devsel
         Memory at fd7e0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled]  
[size=64K]
         Capabilities: <access denied>

So, what do I need to do to get it to recognize this?
I have the file /usr/local/lib/mplayer/vidix/radeon_vid.so... is that  
not the driver?

3) ERROR: Could not open required DirectShow codec wmv8ds32.ax.
You need to upgrade/install the binary codecs package.

I'm only really interested in playing WMV9 files and I deduced that I  
would need the W32 codecs so I downloaded the W32 codecs (essential)  
and placed them into /usr/local/lib/codecs

And after all those errors, I get an output like:

*** [vo] Allocating mp_image_t, 320x240x12bpp YUV planar, 115200 bytes
A:   8.9 V:   8.8 A-V:  0.068 ct:  0.375  91/ 91  3%  0%  0.3% 0 0

which looks like it is actually playing the file!


Here is the full output from mplayer... maybe this will help:
