Summary:                    On x86, mplayer depends on the NVidia drivers
Description: 
mplayer will not run on S10 x86 because it has a dependency on libvdpau,
which is not always present as it is delivered by the NVidia drivers:

$ /opt/csw/bin/mplayer
ld.so.1: mplayer: fatal: libvdpau.so.1: open failed: No such file or
directory
Killed

$ ls -l /opt/csw/bin/mplayer
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin      11844640 Dec 13 14:23
/opt/csw/bin/mplayer

MPlayer depends indeed on NVDAgraphics which contains the mentioned
library.

Installing the above mentioned package solves the issue.

If there is no NVidia card MPlayer works without an issue.

I do not envision removing the support of this hardware as it will diminish
the features of the program.
