Not true. Software rendering refers to the display of 3D objects in

Unless you have a very strange setup, mplayer won't be using OpenGL to
display video data.
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.
I get the driver from the Nvidia website, but it can also be yummed from the
rpmfusion-nonfree repo.
I used yum.
Thanks.
Life is better now.
