That's kind of what I thought, and that's what I tried.  No go.  The VGA card
*appears* to be changing to graphics mode (that's that distinctive sight/sound/
feeling of the display changing modes, it goes black, the blinking cursor goes
away, all of which makes me think that it is in graphics mode) but nothing
ever appears on the display.  My VGA card is from Hewlett-Packard, which uses
the Paradise chip set.

Oh well.
