Not true. Software rendering refers to the display of 3D objects in OpenGL.
Unless you have a very strange setup, mplayer won't be using OpenGL to
display video data.
Not strange at all, actually mplayer can use OpenGL.
# mplayer -vo gl
You're absolutely correct. I've never tried it before, but it works fine.
I think mplayer will go through available output drivers till it finds
one available. So in some cases opengl output may occur. Although if
you installed properly from RPMFusion/Livna I don't think should
happen.
I've got a box with a geforce 5200 LE, and it displays video just fine if I
use the "evil" Nvidia driver. The "nouveau" driver (which you probably have)
isn't quite ready for prime time.
As I recall the "nouveau" driver was not shipped as default in Fedora
9, which I think the OP is using.
I found nouveau pretty functional for 2D without any problems in
F11-64 on my Geforce 5200.
Again, I stand corrected. My nouveau experience was with an earlier
version than the one shipped currently. The F11 version seems to be
working fine, playing 720P H264 video on a slow AMD cpu.
Thanks,
John
