| Need help installing SVGAlib for use with AdvanceMAME on Redhat FC5 |
| (1/1) |
| displacedtexan:
OK all the Linux gurus out there... I am trying to install Advancemame on my newly built cocktail cab so that I can get games with different resolutions to work correctly. I installed FC5, updated it, installed SDL (via yum), installed SVGAlib (from RPM via yum svgalib.i386 0:1.9.24-2.fc5), and installed advancemame (from source). Everything works, but I am pretty sure Advancemame is using the SDL drivers. I tried putting the following in my advmame.rc file: device_video svgalib and I get this: Invalid argument 'svgalib' for option 'device_video' Valid values are: auto Automatic detection fb Frame Buffer video sdl SDL video none No video Error loading the video configuration. I recompiled and re-installed advancemame and still get the same thing. I have also tried adding: alias char-major-209 svgalib_helper to my /etc/modprobe.conf and still doesn't work Any ideas what's going on? I think I would probably have problems installing svgalib from source on Redhat, but that may be what I need to do... Anybody else have any ideas that may help me!! Thanks!! |

I have made a few baby steps forward... I installed svgalib-devel and recompiled advancemame. Now I get this when running advancemame: Unable to initialize the video driver. The errors are: svgalib: Unsupported without the svgalib library. What linux distributions have people used to successfully install advancemame using svgalib? Thanks!! |
