[root@ecl5 linux_sw]# rpm -i --force mplayer-common-0.90-1.i386.rpm mplayer-gui-0.90-1.i386.rpm mplayer-skin-default-1.0-2.noarch.rpm

I haven't yet checked, can mplayer play all of avi, dat, mpg?
you have NOT installed mplayer yet. you should NEVER use --force unless you know why you are using it, you clearly had an error message about saying it needed the actual mplayer rpm itself, which I replied about... try reading the reply again

there are no critical errors there... are you sure there was nothing else? try using "-vo x11" or "-vo xv" incase it can't use the desired video output... other than that there's nothing to guess at... tried a different avi? that's only a divx3 encoding.. shouldn't be a problem though.

It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available.
Run 'xvinfo' to verify its Xv support, and read Xv section of DOCS/video.html !
See 'mplayer -vo help' for other (non-xv) vid
and with xvinfo I get:
X-vidoe extension2.2
screen #0
no adaptor found
