I posted a reply via gmane, but it has been over three hours, and I have not 
seen it? I wonder if they have disallowed gmane?

Perhaps you have already solved the problem, but:

To enable X11, you also need Xext. You can also install Xv to enable -vo xv, 
which I believe is preferred to x11. In all cases, you need to install the 
development packages also.

I think that those are enough, but there may be more. Configure.log does not 
always contain the reason for a failure, so you should redirect all the 
output of configure (including stderr) to a file. Look for messages 
indicating that a library is not found, then install it.

For example, the test for X11 looks like this on my machine:

============ Checking for X11 ============

#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <X11/Xutil.h>
int main(void) { (void) XCreateWindow(0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0); return 0; }


cc -W -Wall -Wno-unused-parameter -O2 -march=prescott -mtune=prescott -g3    
     -o /tmp/mplayer-conf--23596.o /tmp/mplayer-conf--23596.c -I/usr/include 
-lXext -lX11 -lpthread

If you do not have Xext, then there should be a message like '-lXext not 
found'. Now all you need to do is find out which package contains libXext. 
Many times the package name is the same as the library name. In any case, 
you can search for Xext in Synaptic, and pick the most likely candidate, 
which would be xext in this case.

I don't see an OpenGL development package in the Synaptic packages list, and 
I don't know where to get it, but you should at least be able to get Xv and 
X11 working.
