no hardware acceleration?

I guess that the second means I don't have hardware aceleration.
What does the first one mean?

No mention of my geforce graphics card (GX5200LE 128 MB AGP).

Would this sort of thing cause mplayer and ffplay to freeze?
Each of them last a couple before seconds before freezing.
ffplay keeps a little over 1% of the cpu.
Don't remember about mplayer.

The card is not the same kind as the original.
A year or so ago, I destroyed the original installing a disk drive.
I've not deliberately done anything to edit
my graphics infrastructure since then.
I have installed Fedora 9 since then.
