Problem: nothing provides libdirectfb-1.1.so.0 needed by MPlayer-1.0rc2_r29116-2.pm.2.i586
 Solution 1: do not ask to install a solvable providing MPlayer

Choose the above solution using '1' or cancel using 'c' [1/C]:

DirectFB should be available on the openSUSE 11.1 dvd.

it seems Packman has compiled MPlayer with an older version of DirectFB. Currently included version of DirectFB provides libdirectfb-1.2.so.0 and NOT libdirectfb-1.1.so.0

Either contact the packman packager of MPlayer or compile MPlayer yourself which is not that difficult
