I'm trying to get the mode selection of the allegro gfx library to work
(and the mouse) but i cannot seem to get it to work. The code follows but
it seems to do everything up to the showing of the gui selection function
and then stops. A have to ctrl-break out of it. (i'm linking alright as i
don't get any compile/link errors)

#include <allegro.h>

main()
 {
   int *card=0, *w=0, *h=0

   allegro_init();

   install_timer();

   if(install_mouse() < 0)
     return(1);

   if(set_gfx_mode(GFX_VGA, 320, 200, 0, 0) < 0)
     return(1);

   show_mouse(screen);

   gfx_mode_select(card, w, h); //stops here
 }

Please help, it worked earlier today, it doesn't seem to want to now.

I'm also running this under rhide which is running under Win95
