Note that "setuid root" executbales are normally considered *dangerous*. But if you still want to do so, you need to "chmod +s xmame.x11" (as root !). A "normal" user should then be able to use fullscreen DGA mode as well.
Look at the messages produced by xmame.x11; if it says something like rene@linux:~ > /usr/local/bin/xmame.x11 -x11-mode 1 DGA requires root rights Use of DGA-modes is disabled ... ... X11-mode 1 not available, falling back to normal window code ... ... then this is exactly your "problem" ! BTW: If your graphics card and XFree86 (which version ?) drivers are capable of _good_ GLX acceleration (OpenGL), I'd recommend using the xgl target instead ! Hope this help, Rene -- R.
