Re: SVGA & Linux

  Does your system lock up or will escape still bring you back to a  
console after the blank screen?

  Getting anything useful in the kernel message ring? Try typing  
"dmesg" once you're back to the console (assuming a positive answer  
to my prior question).

  The svgalib kernel helper is loading ok? I assume so since you said  
the demo apps work.

   What are your arguments to ./configure when building advancemame?  
You can find that in the config.log file in your source directory if  
you're not sure offhand.
