Sure. My mistake. Sorry for the typo.
You could try to install libxxf86vm-dev

I just downloaded MPlayer-1.0pre6a.tar.bz2 and compiled it without a
single problem.

You don't need to run the configure script, just tweak the debian/rules
file in MPlayer sources to add some desired configure options/features
and run the build command.
Here's my line I used for compiling

Code:
--------------------
    
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --confdir=/etc/mplayer --disable-runtime-cpudetection --enable-gui --enable-menu --with-codecsdir=/usr/lib/codecs $(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)
  
--------------------
