32/64bit Groovy Arcade Linux LiveCD/Install
NightSprinter:
Sorry for taking so long to reply. I did get the kernel and the xf86-driver-ati stuff patched and installed. The few games/resolutions that I managed to get working on a SuSE 12.1 install display fine (save for programs like leafpad being magnified too much to be considered usable), but it looks like I've had trouble similar to what you've had regarding something else:

I know I did "something" wrong still, but it's getting a bit difficult to figure out where I did.

The errors you see, are generated by some bad options passed to xrandr; this shouldn't prevent the correct displaying of games (often that happen also to me, without crashing the resolution).
I can suggest you to compile and use groovymame, then retry dkong and if the problem persists, post here the output of "groovymame dkong -v -md 4" with a description of your environment.
NightSprinter:
Seems the compile fails at the switchres portion. Given I have a second linux partition, I can re-install groovy arcade onto it (and replace Vector) to further test. Guess I'll have to figure out the problem with portage someday.

HI guys i missed this forum for a couple of years, i almost finished restoring may 1982 dated cabinet and now the PC that i was planning to use (an Athlon x2 64 mounted on an sapphire pure motherboard) has become obsolete so i bought a Asus E35M1-M Pro (AMD Zacate) MOBO. i just play old games 80s 90s and some NEO GEO titles so computing power shouldn't be a huge issue.
MY plan is to use 2 USB keys one for the software installation an the other for the roms.
Will my configuration work?
Are there any things that should i keep under consideration while configuring?
Thanks in advance
