Same with most other distros, though most put it into /usr/src/linux
and leave /usr/include/linux untouched

This is something new! It wasnt around until 2.4.2x, afaik it was merged
into 2.4 soon after the 2.5/2.6 got it.

Again, the problem is not with MPlayer using the wrong include files
in the first place, but that the include files in /usr/include
do not fit together. Also note, that this is a SuSE only problem.
So far i haven't heard of any other distro that has this problem.

If the kernel headers would be wrong, then only those parts which
need them, namels fbdev wouldnt work correctly, but everything else
would just compile and work fine. But here we have broken kernel
headers.
