I cannot say the exact reson for this, but after fixing some bugs over
the weekend in the screen functions, I found, that RHIDE sets at
startup at first a screen mode 0xff!!! 
This may be a reason, because your video bios may be confused
by setting that video mode.. To test, if that's true for you,
run either the following small program or wait for the next
RHIDE version to check, if the bug was fixed.

-----CUT HERE-----
#include <conio.h>

int main()
{
  textmode(0xff);
  return 0;
}
-----CUT HERE-----
