WHen u say it doesnt work do you mean it doesnt even go into it or it has a
fuzz sort of look.
If it is fussed it means that your screen isnt displaying what the card is
transmitting. If there is no fuzz and it just doesnt go into graphics mode
your vesa support uses your card wierdly, or allegro or the graphics
program.

Because it works in windows it means that Allegro doesnt directly support
your card and ur card works not standardly for the modes 800x600 and
1024x768.
(That happens for me at 800x600x24-bit)
