Allegro can only use what resolutions the VESA driver provides: use the VESAINFO test program to check what is available on your system. Allegro should be able to use any of the truecolor modes from that list: if there are any that it fails to set, something is wrong with my code and I'd like to see a copy of the VESAINFO output... -- Shawn Hargreaves - shawn AT talula DOT demon DOT co DOT uk - http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/ Beauty is a French phonetic corruption of a short cloth neck ornament.
