Have you tried to startup mplayer out of the therminal?
This can give you a particular error message.

Removing tty's won't affect the performance of individual programs. I don't even think it would affact overall performance of your system.

The bed's idea should help.
If you are trying the mplayer-xfree86 extension you'll need XFree86 installed in order to use it.

Too true!
I have similar machine, mplayer will not start without the
extensions Mikshaw mentioned.
My XFree config file is for a Neomagic card.
Launching from icon is too much of a strain on resources.
I open a terminal and enter
/opt/mplayer/mplayer -framedrop /path/to/moviefile

I am pretty sure I got the normal extenion,I will try opening it from a shell.
I have tried to install xfree86 a few times unsucsessfully. I have a neomagic 128 xx but the neomagic config file supplied in xfree 86 didnt seem to work. most likely Im just doing something wrong though. I was getting my info from here xfeedsllink
Im sure I'll figure it out eventually, there just doesnt seem to be a wealth of info about it.
