for some reason at runtime, when gfx_mode_select() is prompting the user
to pick a video mode, and i use the mouse to select it....textout_centre()
and textout() the textcolor / textbackground color are both the same
(therefore the text is unreadable)....if use the keyboard to select the
video mode..it works perfectly...they way i'm using textout...first i
textout() to my virtual screen 'BITMAP *'...then blit() to the screen...

i'm running a Pentuim Pro-200 32MB ram

univbe output for my video card
Video Card: S3 SuperVGA (Virge/VX) with 8 Mb
RAM DAC:    S3 Trio Internal 24 bit DAC
Clock Chip: S3 Virge/VX Internal Clock

i really can't give snippets of my code cuz it's really messy...i just
converted it to use allegro....but this 'bug' is pretty anoying...
