I had the same problem.

On my Matrox, mode 0x111 or 0x211 worked fine, but on another
my graphic functions just wrote lot of scrambled stuff.
My way around it(which surely won't work on all machines)
was to use mode 0x4111(fifteen bit set).

I would also apreciate a codesnippet that could set
mode 640x480x16bit with 64-kb graphic windows on any machine
but I'm to lazy to check the Allegro sourcecode etc.

Hope it helps anyway, and it should be nuce if you could
tell me if it worked or if something else worked...
