Seems I have to apologize for my ignorance.. :( Tried to replace the 
original header files from the Xorg installation with the headers from 
NVidia and recompiled MPlayer, no errors.. If I remember correctly, I 
used an older version of the drivers when it failed. Now using the 7667 
version, so seems it works now.

The Nvidia headers (on my system, at least) installs into 
/usr/include/GL which is a symbolic link to /usr/X11R6/include/GL.

I just assumed that the new drivers would still break the build, and 
included the --disable-gl option without further testing.. Well, so much 
for my (useful) information :)

C ya all
