   I've written a procedure using Allegro to read in a 256 color bitmap
from disk and display it on the screen. Using GFX_AUTODETECT, the colors
came out all wrong. Upon further exploration, I discovered that the
colors come out wrong when I use VESA2B or 2L modes, but work fine with
VESA1.

   Does anyone have any reason why VESA 2.0 isn't working properly?
Also, how concerned should I be? Using the VESA 1.x mode the code should
run on any decent computer, no?
