OK, I've used the DJGPP V2_03 Refresh (courtesy of Charles Sandman, I
assume) to get a working DJGPP environment on my laptop in Win2K. 
(Allegro compiles like a champ, no va_list problems here)

The Allegro demo runs (without sound,) on Vesa2.0 banked 1024x768
mode.

I can't figure out how to do this myself.

I am using exmem.c as a test ground and modifying GFX drivers. The
original GFX_SAFE driver only ever gives me a 320x200 environment, no
matter what h&w parameters I specify, yuck!  When I use:
set_gfx_mode(GFX_VESA2B, 640, 480, 0, 0)for instance, the compile
works, but the binary returns a message that VESA is not available.

How did Shaun get this to work in the demo?
