No, that code should not be compiled if VGA support is disabled.

I thought of the OP's problem: he's using Solaris, so modex.c is not
even listed in makefile.lst for his platform.  The dummy definition of
split_modex_screen() will never be compiled, leading to the missing
symbol error.  We need either to move modex.c into ALLEGRO_SRC_FILES in
makefile.lst (ugly) or otherwise move the dummy definition into a new
file.
