Ok. I am running Intrepid Ibix on my HP DV5170us laptop. All hardware works out of the box.
I installed SDLMAME from ubuntu repositories, found it didn't work, followed a few links I found (this one first http://www.bannister.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=35138&page=2). I uninstalled the package.
So I downloaded the SDLMAME .130 sources and compiled. No problems. I set up the $HOME/.mame directory, I set up the ROMS directory. I manually set the symlink to /usr/local/bin/mame so it would work in my $PATH.
When I run MAME, up comes the full screen menu with my games. I only have 6 or 7. Of those, I can run Spy Hunter. No sound. That's ok for now. Gameplay is good, though I have to fiddle with the controls. But that's ok.
Whenever I try to play any other ROM, however, I get an error that says:
'The selected game is missing one or more required ROM or CHD images. Please select a different game'
These same roms ran just fine when I was running Windows. Does anyone know if I need to make any modifications to make this work?
