@wires: a low pixel clock is what you need to be able to do in order to get old 15.7 kHz frequencies to your arcade monitor for the authentic resolutions
@Tilzs: I wondered about that. It was easy enough to get a hold of 1.9.19, so I just did that. Compiling was not so easy but I've documented it here. A thorough look through the source code would tell us whether the patches were necessary for 1.9.25. I did not look.

what if i use a PC monitor and a HDTV ?
i noticed today that some games dont run in full screen mode on my monitor but run in a normal window. Should i set my monitor to resolution 800x640 to play all the games ? i am currrently at 1280x1024, i am just testing the games on my desktop pc before building a cab.
Tilzs:
It sounds like you are using SDL, in X. Major Rock Hardy and I are discussing patches for svgalib. svgalib and fb run from console. I haven't really run advancemame in X, but if you post your advmame.rc, we can probably figure it out.

make it this:

Great! I always bookmark your threads.
But...ummm...what is the difference between those two lines? Am I missing something?
Major Rock Hardy:
oooh, good catch whammoed! I dunno :dunno what happened there - bad copy/paste I guess. This is now fixed above. The problem was the

thanks for catching that.
