I have a cheap Funai 15" digital monitor. It's fine apart from the fact that
it will not adjust itself to resolutions not preprogrammed into it. This
means that every time it comes across a new resolution you have to program
the screen width, height and position into it's memory. When I first ran an
Allegro game at 640x480 VESA mode I had to do this and it may be your
problem.
