the piece of code

int hw;
allegro_init();
set_gfx_mode(AUTODETECT,800,600,0,0);
hw=gfx_capabilities;      /* this is an allegro's extern int status to
show the gfx hardware capabilities */
allegro_exit();
printf("%x\n",hw);


the excution result:

In an S3-968 gfx card I get 37ff9,
In an s3-775 (trio64 v2)  I get 1
In a TNT nVidia I get 1

Why  Allegro can't detect the acceleration capabilities of a trio64 v2
or the TNT nVidia ?
