Hi.
I had the same feeling the first time I thought of, but then I realized
that the only need for GFX_SAFE not failing would be for text mode
programs, which may continue without graphic visualization. However,
that's platform dependant! :-) And therefore not in the spirit of Allegro.
IIRC usually the idea of game programming with Allegro is setting a
graphic mode, then emulating a console if needed, and playing, because
there are systems where you don't have console like output.
If you really want to set graphic modes without aborting, then you will
have to stick with GFX_AUTODETECT.
