That's a shame. But as I said in the driver notes, I can't fix problems
without access to the hardware, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help you
with this.

If you disable both linear and banked modes, that doesn't leave any working
ones at all, so Allegro won't even try to use a VBE/AF mode. So this doesn't
really tell anything useful, other than that if you don't use the driver at
all, it isn't able to cause any problems :-)
