Not on its own. As cbreak wrote, you need to enable software scaling
usin -zoom to achieve that with -vo x11.

If you had paid attention to MPlayer's configure script output,
you'd have noticed that it didn't detect the presence of the necessary
development libraries and headers. You can also check that by inspecting
the configure.log file. Install the missing lib*-devel packages and
re-run configure and make.
