AFAIK, DRI should support your chipset (been awhile since I used an ATI card
-- it was an 16MB ATI Rage Mobility M (a.k.a. Rage Mobility 128) in a laptop,
and DRI worked great).
MPlayer comes with an number of video output drivers that it can use to send
the rendered video to the display driver. Here's a partial list to give you
an idea.
$ mplayer -vo help
Available video output drivers:
xmga Matrox G200/G4x0/G550 overlay in X11 window
(using /dev/mga_vid)
mga Matrox G200/G4x0/G550 overlay (/dev/mga_vid)
xv X11/Xv
x11 X11 ( XImage/Shm )
xover General X11 driver for overlay capable vo's
gl X11 (OpenGL)
gl2 X11 (OpenGL) - multiple textures version
[...]
Of course, the underlying video card driver support has to be there. I think
the default for MPlayer is to use x11, so there's not a lot of configuration
to be done if you already have X working.
