Title: ArcadeVGA and Linux
Post by: Surfr on June 23, 2003, 09:45:52 am

Has anyone got any experiance of this combination?

I have X running using the vesa driver OK but unaccelerated and missing Xv extensions... really want to get the radeon driver working instead.. or svgalib possibly..

Any ideas ?

Try looking at the recently (past two weeks) added Linux based cab. He used another ATI card, but the config should be the same for the ArcadeVGA (based off the fact that successfull DOS Advanced Mame config is based off the same card he's using)

Surfr,

Check Aaron's site here: http://sparhawk.sbc.edu/MAME

I just got the exact same machine he has and will probably use a very similar setup.  He also found me a Rage 128 Pro AGP card laying around so I plan on fiddling with that as well.  We work together in case you were wondering.  :)

I'm sure Aaron would be happy to help; his email is on the site above.
