Not strange at all, actually mplayer can use OpenGL.
# mplayer -vo gl
I think mplayer will go through available output drivers till it finds

As I recall the "nouveau" driver was not shipped as default in Fedora
9, which I think the OP is using.
Whatever its origin, nv was the driver name.
My current problem is getting suspend to disk working again.
