As I know Allegro does support only 256 color modes. So use it to enter this mode. Look at allegro.doc! P.S. You will be unable to enter this mode if your VGA card has only 256 KB of memory. In this case your only solution is to use 640x400 256 color mode if it is supported! -- <2nd E-mail: simun DOT mikecin AT fer DOT hr >
