At first, you should know that if you have a standard VGA monitor that means
that you can also use 640x480 in 256 colors!
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!
