: Yes. All of Allegro's function are written ONLY for graphical modes,
: like 320x200, 640x480, etc. The GFX_TEXT mode is there only to come
: back to text mode when your program using graphics has ended.

... however, clrscr() is a conio function, right? :)

To the original poster: Try calling textmode (the conio function) after telling
Allegro to restore text mode. I'm not sure whether this will help, though.
