Groovy Arcade Linux Live-CD, based on Arch Linux (official update)
NightSprinter:
Yeah, I'm actually currently in the process (given my time away from work) of working out how to have an up-to-date install of MESA and the open-source drivers (which is a requirement along with the patched kernel, might patch/compile the 3.7 on Arch and see how that goes) on a Radeon 6670 (good comprimise between speed and functionality).
I'm no linux guru, but I'll continue to post my findings here or in another thread I have in the Linux forum.

OK, great! I was afraid only specific models were compatible.

I noticed that my GA-system suffers from this way old kernel bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=845745
On a cold boot the computer often hangs, but with rebooting it boots just fine.
There's a workaround for this, but I'm not sure if it presents some problems concerning kms booting with an arcade monitor:
--- Quote ---I've added nomodeset in GRUB2's command line (using GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub) and the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
modprobe -r radeon
modprobe -r drm
modprobe radeon modeset=1
--- End quote ---
I haven't tried that workaround just yet, but as the next version of the LiveCd has been promised pretty soon, I thought I'll post this here anyway.
Has this been documented/discussed here somewhere?
Calamity:
Thanks for reporting this, emuola.

Hi, I'm sorry but I'm a bit lost with the download page of GroovyArcade. :-\
How to know what the "non-groovyarcade" downloads means ? For example, do I need to add (and how) the new advmenuPlus2.6 or xorg.sh to my GroovyArcade USB Stick ?
Concerning the different releases of GroovyArcade, is it possible to set an auto-update for each final (or beta) version of Mame or Ume ? Or do I have to reinstall it all each time ?
Thanks a lot and sorry again for the newbie's questions... :'(
