You are somehow confusing compile-time options with runtime options. If you
compile mplayer with xv support (which is autodetected by default), you can
simply specify -vo xv or add vo=xv to your config file.

--enable-xv configure option will not necessarily work if you don't specify
additional parameters such as include paths and link flags, because it
turns off autodetection of said library.
