If you're still unable to get it working, I can suggest trying xine instead
(just for something completely different :).

xine is probably best known as a DVD player, but it's a great general video
file player and that includes DivX (using either opendivx or the
binary-only Linux/DivX).

I used MPlayer a long time ago but have been using xine exclusively for my
video needs for the past year or so.

...well, except for my sporadic use of the Quicktime player via the
Wine-based Crossover :).
