I haven't used the linux version, though I'm guessing it's similar.
Essentially, running in the 'stock' mode in Windows uses the indigenous
drivers. They don't do native display. So you have to set the file
accordingly to use the adv drivers. It goes without saying that reading and
comprehending the docs is crucial. Also, knowing what monitor (make and
model, or at least scan rate capability) you're using will help in
understanding what you're trying to accomplish. (As well, easymamecab is a
great page for general comprehension of display technology, besides using
Advmame.)

Additionally: though I have gotten good performance of games through the
early 90s using the Windows version on a P4 1.6ghz, you certainly will get
much better using the DOS version, or perhaps a severely streamlined linux
version.
