I had tried this setting before without success here but I just gave 
it a try again and it did get rid of the unsupported mode message but 
I just got either a black screen or a black screen with a flashing 
cursor (which it probably did before) .  I found it would accept text 
input when I typed exit and hit enter.  I tried the DOS video settings
with no success but then suddenly the size of the window changed.  I 
typed mode co80,25 and it went back to normal size and I could see the
screen.  I added mode co80,25 to the bottom of autoexec.bat and now my
DOS prompt is working fine on a Thinkpad W500 (using the Intel video 
chipset as Panorama isn't able to drive the ATI side properly).  So 
even though it is launching in what appears to be a normal mode 
window, I am having to explicitely set mode to view the text in the 
window.
