Software Support > GroovyMAME
Groovy Arcade Linux Live-CD, based on Arch Linux (official update)
NightSprinter:
Having a lot of derp moments here. I'm trying to install a few bits of additional software (WINE to run a few arcade/arcade-style games that are only on Windows), native games, and additional emulators. Somehow when I try to install the requirements for some things, I end up somehow erasing everything on the install. I'm a bit confused here. Calamity, ves, what am I doing wrong? (I had somewhat similar issues in the Gentoo version as well).
NightSprinter:
Got the OS updated (though.. not sure if I was "supposed" to do that, despite wine and a few other things would refuse to install otherwise). For some reason now I get the exact same issue as I did using the patched radeon drivers when playing with Ubuntu:
--- Code: ---SwitchRes: [alienar] (1) horizontal (292x240@60.10)->(296x240@60.10)
X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 16 (RRCreateMode)
Serial number of failed request: 39
Current serial number in output stream: 39
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 151 (XFree86-VidModeExtension)
Minor opcode of failed request: 10 (XF86VidModeSwitchToMode)
Value in failed request: 0x150
Serial number of failed request: 135
Current serial number in output stream: 137
--- End code ---
I am quite confuse now, but I will state the specs of my test bed:
CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q6600
RAM: 4GB DDR2-800 Corsair XMS2
Motherboard: XFX nForce680i SLI-LT
GPU: XFX Radeon 6670 1GB
Monitor: NEC MultiSync XM29 Plus (Model XM2960, will look into entering monitor infos from the one thread I looked at into switchres.conf and test that).
Running xf86-driver-ati-git from the Arch User Repository
Let me know if something is missing (other than a parallel port card for OpenPPJoy).
Calamity:
Hi NightSprinter,
By updating the drivers you must have overridden the specific patch for low resolutions. There's a workaround however, define a higher minimum dotclock so that low resolutions are width scaled, add this to mame.ini:
dotclock_min 8.0

Tried searching the forum and also Google, but only found the dead old project page. Where can I find a list of supported video cards?
EDIT: Let me rephrase this to make it easier to answer. I'm thinking about replacing my existing system with a low-power AMD system with on-chip (ATI) graphics, will this work with GroovyArcade?

If it's Linux what you have in mind, anything from Radeon 7000 to the date should be good.
