Hi,
I tried Allegro 2.2 beta, and I found when the bug exactly happens ( I think so ):
when the program sets the resolution by using GFX_AUTODETECT it sometimes bugs,
I mean it bugs when you switch to 640x400 or higher, and it doesn't in any other
case. I found this by trying with ex22.exe which allows to select the gfx mode.
I also tried to modify an existing bugging example: GFX_AUTODETECT => GFX_VESA2B
( for example ) and it perfectly works.
All this doesn't happen with the previous version of Allegro.
PS: As I will be away for a long time, I won't be able to read the news ( for 2
weeks ) and when I'm back the answers will probably be lost by my newsreader,
so it would be kind to send me you answers by mail too. Thanks.
