If you mean "What if you try glxgears instead of
MPlayer?" the answer is I don't know what would happen
then, and I don't know how to try either.

Here is the output to stderr. $@ are the media files
because I have a shell wrapper, but otherwise the
commands are isolated and could have been invoked as:

$ mplayer1 -nojoystick -nolirc -loop 0 -fs $@ > /dev/null
open: No such file or directory
[MGA] Couldn't open: /dev/mga_vid

$ mplayer1 -vo gl -nojoystick -nolirc -loop 0 -fs $@ > /dev/null
(no output, but crashes on tty/X switch)
