The first question that comes to mind is whether you system has any active graphics modes. Try 'vidcontrol -i mode'. If there are no 'G' modes, you lose. I have one system, my IBM ThinkPad, with no graphics modes. This probably belongs on questions unless you have an indication that it has worked on the same system in the past. -- R.
