I wrote a fractal generating program in DJGPP with the Allegro graphics
library. I previously posted my problem, but I have fixed most of the problems
- they were due to memory allocation. Here's the problem I have now: It works
fine on some computers, but on a Pentium with STB Velocity 3d VX card with
DirectX installed on the computer, the text mode doesn't work properly (text is
mostly made up of squares). The way I set text mode from Allegro is
set_gfx_mode(GFX_TEXT,0,0,0,0). Why would the text look messed up? Can anyone
help? Thanks. (Note: I'll send you the program if you need it to help)
