       enable_triple_buffer   -   Enables   triple   buffering.  Allegro  game
       programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int enable_triple_buffer();

DESCRIPTION

       If the GFX_CAN_TRIPLE_BUFFER bit of the gfx_capabilities field  is  not
       set,  you  can  attempt  to  enable  it  by  calling  this function. In
       particular if you are running in mode-X in  a  clean  DOS  environment,
       this  routine  will  enable  the  timer  retrace  simulator, which will
       activate the triple buffering functions.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns zero if triple buffering is enabled, -1 otherwise.
