Groovy Arcade Linux Live-CD, based on Arch Linux (official update)
NightSprinter:
I have also tried the following line in my xorg.conf file to coincide with my monitor's hsync settings:
--- Code: ---Horizsync 15.7, 31-65
--- End code ---
but without luck. I do find it odd that the kernel boot parameter requires VGA-1, while X.Org kreds VGA-0. I'll teet more this evening after work and report back. I appreciate everything. I am just confused, as I read somewhere one could enter two different rates in the config file via a separating comma. Would I have to do two different monitor entries for the same port?
On a side note, amusingly also attempting to see if I can make wine or dosbox use a voodoo2 card installed for glide games. Might that also cause issues?
NightSprinter:
Well, THIS is confusing Calamity. I'm testing out the live disc, and with the "stock" kernel and xorg packages everything runs fine. Even when running in LXDE, the emulator has no issues with running Alien Arena, Looping, or even Vs. Super Mario Bros at native resolutions.
NightSprinter:
Hey, given that the Live CD with no updates to the software is working.. would you think that one of your patches might have been overwritten? I'm not sure what else was patched besides the kernel used and maybe SDL. Could maybe Ansa89 or bitbytebit possibly provide insight as to what could have stopped it from working on a system update or for another distro?
Also of note: a lot of frontends/emulators either fail to build from AUR either due to not allowing 64-bit builds or missing an odd dependency that can't be satisfied from official Arch repos or AUR.
Dumb question, now that I read up on something: did you guys build the X.Org and MESA drivers with specific links for the use of Kernel Mode Setting? If so, I think that's why updating broke everything. I need confirmation. :banghead:

Hi NightSprinter,
Some patches needed to be updated to work with recent versions of Linux. I'm not doing this directly, Ves is doing the work and I'm eventually helping him with the tests, so I don't have the actual patches collection here. All I can say is that we have a provisional up-to-date live-cd we're testing "internally" and that all the important video-related stuff is working for us. Hopefully it will be released this month(?). Some minor bugs are stopping us from releasing it, all related with the user interface, you know, we're stuck in a loop of you fix something and something else gets broken. With the release, I'll make sure that all the patches are posted so they can be ported to other distributions, however I think the efforts should be focused on improving the current Arch distribution rather than patching other distributions prone to different issues.

It would be very interesting.
