There really shouldn't be a conflict -- you may want to stick a line into the
mythgame source to see what the actual command line it's using is, though.

Not sure if this is related or not....

I noticed that I can't use a script to replace xmame.
I needed one to make it work right with kde so I made xmame be xmame.orig
and a script xmame that called it. Wouldn't work for some reason.
So I ended up hacking mythgame to do the "right stuff" for me instead.
Are you actually calling xmame the executable with your current config?

Hope this helps,
Mike

And BTW, for me to get DGA fullscreen the xmame option is "-x11 1".

I think I solved the problem. Apparently the -x11 1 option didn't play nice
with the xv option. Or so that's what tinkering at the command line showed
me...

So in mythgame I had to disable the 'fullscreen' option checkbox and leave
the xmamerc the way I had it (with xv on, cursor off, etc) and everything
seems to work fine.

Thanks,
Chris
