Advmame Linux "Anti-Lock" Hardware?

After reading the mailing list archives and forums I installed a Matrox G400
video card and an Ensoniq 1371 chipset sound card to run AdvanceMame in
Linux (Advmame-patched svgalib).

I got random console lockups, where I would have to exit Linux ungracefully
(hard reset).  Thinking it had to be some svgalib bug, I recompiled the
kernel to use the Linux Framebuffer.  Same thing - random lockups in
Framebuffer mode (no svgalib driver insmod'd).  So now I am fairly certain
it's a hardware conflict, not a video driver problem.

So my question is - If you're running a stable (no lockup) Advmame compile
in Linux, what video/sound cards are you using?  Especially if you're using
a D9200 monitor.  Also tell me if you've experienced this problem before and
found the solution - I'm assuming it's my hardware but I could be wrong.

My specs:
Athlon xp2600+
Mandriva Linux 2006 (2.6.12-12 kernel)
Matrox G400 video AGP
Ensoniq 1731 sound card
WG D9200 monitor

Thanks,
Ken
