YEAH....yeppers dude very possible.

this is what you need to do

sample code

allegro_init();
 vbuf=create_bitmap(640,480);
 clear(vbuf); //dbl buffr
clear(screen) ///screen points to video buf
 set_gfx_mode(GFX_VESA2L,640,480,0,0);
blit(vbuf,screen,0,0,0,0,640,480); //pop the dubl bfr to the screen 

for more info on the above functions read the allegro.txt
