Over the last couple years I've known and forgot alot of stuff about
framebuffer and g400 stuff.  It is definitely easier with Gentoo now
days than it was, I used to have to know more...  now Freevo init stuff
"does the right" thing for the g400.  Great?  - I don't have to know
about matroxset etc anymore?

So I want mame or xmame to work.  I enabled it, but when I try to run a
game I get a "flicker" on the TV.  Then it returns back to Freevo menu,
but now the freevo menu is dimmer and narrower.

My settings:
GAMES_ITEMS = [
        ('MAME', '/data/games/roms',
         ('MAME', '/usr/games/bin/xmame.SDL', '-fullscreen -modenumber 6',
         '/data/games/snapshots', None)
        )
        ]
plugin.activate('games', level=45)

(I wonder why I have level=45)

A friend said advmame is easier.  Indeed, I can run it while plugging a
monitor into the G400, but it doesn't seem to work if I'm hooked to a
TV.  Seems that I need to run it from the console, and I'm just ssh'ing
in since my console is black.

The above "-modenumber 6" doesn't work either... I guess my SDL version
is too new for that since it says it's depreicated.

Can someone give me some insight?

Thanks,
-Scott
