Well, near the beginning it says your X session is running with 8 bit colour
depth. That is not going to be enough for MPlayer, hence the warning. Set
your default colour depth to be at least 16 bit.
Also, you are not running mplayer as root are you? I just wonder why it is
looking for /root/.mplayer etc instead of ~/.mplayer
