Have you tried the Xorg workaround for incompatible apps? ie: XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 gxmame (or whatever front end you're using). Not sure if it's the same problem or not. I got a different error message, but I have a totally different graphics card.
Yes, but it doesn't seem to change anything in the result. Always segfaults, even without gui (xterm xmame). All other modes (x11 etc) work fine. I will upgrade to 0.86 and post results (maybe tomorrow, since it's late here in Italy...)
does 0.88 work any better for you?
reopen after you've tried 0.88 please.
Sorry for beeing late, I tried with 0.86 but nothing changed... I'll try with 0.88 (56K doesn't help much)... tonight. Promise. :)
Ok, version 0.88 addresses that; I noticed that now the x11,xv and xgl executables are grouped, so running xmame.x11 -vidmod 2 used the opengl libraries correctly. Phew, back to retrogaming... I think this can be closed. :) Ciao, Tommy
ok...
stupid bugzilla.
fixed.
