Why not adding packman to your repository and just installing the 
packages using YaST?

Start it on a console and report the output to the packager/developer.

1.1.10.1? Do not use it, there where a lot of security fixes since 
1.1.10.1 was released.

Use yast, search for xorg and install the devel packages. But you 
shouldn't do, when you have problems to solve this simple dependencies, 
there are much more in xine, when you see the configure output.

Try a 'make uninstall'
