Probably the Linux video drivers don't support your video board
with your specific configuration.

It happen frequently that a supported video board doesn't work
correctly when used in a laptop. Sometimes AdvanceMENU works
because it uses the standard resolution 1024x768, but AdvanceMAME
uses arbitrary size video modes which require a full featured
video driver.
