Perhaps this is true of the drivers written for a specific system. But as far
as allegro in whole, I would say no.
You can also see this in the FAQ:
[quote]
Will you ever add support for 3D accelerator hardware?
No. This sort of hardware support would be most useful as part of a proper 3D
API, which Allegro is not, and will never be. If you want to do some work on
this, the MESA library (a free implementation of OpenGL) is IMHO the place to
start.
However, if you are interested in using OpenGL for graphics and Allegro for
everything else, you can try the various add-ons libraries linked from
http://www.allegro.cc/ such as AllegroGL.
