OS: SCO XENIX 2.3.2

I can't seem to get color text to display with this combination. I'm
using the setcolor(C) command as a test. If you sa 'setcolor' with no
arguments, you get a list of possible colors along with a box of that
color. When I try this with my VGA card, nothing comes out in color. It
acts exactly the same as if I had a monochrome display. I can take the
same system, put in a CGA card, and i get the colors.

Has anyone else seen this and come up with a fix? 

Before anyone points at my VGA card and says incompatible, I have used
this card under VP/ix and displayed color graphics fine.
