This really stumps me, because I used to be able to play video files
using -vo xv in mplayer, but now I can't, after re-installing gentoo.

As far as I know, i've used the exact same settings as before, and even
have the same XF86Config file, but it won't work..

xvinfo gives:
X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
no adaptors present

and just for fun, when I tried to run the command as root, it gave me:
xvinfo: unable to open display

As a matter of fact, every program I use as root in XFree gives me that
output..

$DISPLAY as my normal user is ':0.0', while for root it is ''

Anyhow, this is my XF86Config file, same as it was before I
re-installed.
# XFree86 4 configuration created by pyxf86config

# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
