Thanks for all your help. I finally got it working perfectly! I compiled it with these parameters:
./configure --disable-option-checking '--prefix=/usr/local' '--enable-fullscreen' '--with-pulse' '--with-x' '--enable-gnomeui' --c
It runs full-screen very well and now I have sound. There was a slight glitch I needed to overcome:
For some reason I was not able to use my keyboard within the VICE emulation - VICE would recognize CTRL-D etc, but the emulated commodore machine will not respond to my keyboard (i.e. I cannot type commands like LOAD, RUN, etc.)! Solved by copying missing .vpl and .vkm files into home/user/.vice/C64 ....etc.
A couple of final (?) questions:
- - If I want to "lock" this version so it doesn't get upgraded and cause me problems in future, do I need to? Is there a way to?
- If I ever want to un-install this manually compiled software, how is that done? Can it still be done if I have not kept the compile work directory?
- In PET emulation, is there such a setting as NTSC vs. PAL? I cannot find it, and the startup messages from terminal seem to indicate it is running at 55Hz (PET: cycles per frame set to 17913, refresh to 55.825Hz / PET: cycles per frame set to 17920, refresh to 55.803Hz)
- no icons were installed in my LXDE start menu - I have to start from terminal. I assume this is not really a problem you can answer, since you are not a Lubuntu user....I'll have to figure out how to make shortcuts manually.
