You get Text mode display - this means either no other display is 
detected at runtime (not running on X, no $DISPLAY defined) or you have 
not compiled POV-Ray with other display support.  The configure script 
reports you which display systems are included.  if X-Window isn't 
detected you need to check if you have the development files of the 
X-Libs installed.
