According to the mplayer readme, OpenGL output is only supported on
cards using Utah GLX, Matrox cards using DRI and ATI cards using DRI
CVS, so you're outta luck :)
I have a Geforce 2 myself, and I find that mplayer runs fine without
OpenGL output. It would probably be faster, and reduce the load on
your CPU, but since Nvidia's drivers are not open source, I doubt
you'll ever see OpenGL output support from mplayer.
My $0.02...
