MythGame/mame "corrupts" TvOut
ok, MythGame installed but when I try to run xmame from the mythfrontend
in fullscreen it corrupts all the tvout signal ( i need to turn the
tvout off and then on to get things back to normal ). If I run the xmame
from the command line in fullscreen the problem doesn't exists.

Any ideas about this problem?

Thanks.

Is MythGame running the same xmame as the one in your PATH? Do the
following:

- From a shell, type 'which xmame'. Note the name & location of the
executable.
- Look in your /usr/local/share/mythtv/mythgame-settings.txt, and note the
value of the XMameBinary setting.
- Are they the same? Do an "ls -l" on both of them (if different) to check
if one is a symbolic link to the other.


If they're the same, which fullscreen mode is Mythgame using? DGA, XV, SDL,
other? For reference, MythGame does the following:

- xmame.x11 fullscreen DGA = "xmame.x11 -x11 1"
- xmame.x11 fullscreen XV = "xmame.x11 -fullscreen"
- xmame.SDL fullscreen = "xmame.SDL -fullscreen"

Not sure about others (OpenGL, etc)

My apologies if you've already done this; you can never be too sure!
