Are you using VESA 2 Linear ? I have this problem as well. On my Matrox
Mystique (4MB SGRAM PCI, without the VBE/AF driver, in both DOS and
DOS-in-Windows), all alegro programs using VESA 2.0 (including the grabber)
reset my computer on exit. It doesn't happen with VESA 1.x, VBE/AF, ModeX
nor VGA. (didn't try VESA 2.0 banked though).

Computers are getting faster, smaller and cheaper with time. Does that mean
that Microsoft invented time travel ?
