reset only attempts to clear your terminal and set it to a "sane" state.  It 
doesn't actually fiddle with your graphics card.  reset is good for fixing 
problems like having echo disabled, the wrong character set, vertical 
scrolling disabled, and so on---just "logical" terminal mis-settings.

SVGATextMode, on the other hand, will reset your graphics card as well.  Gvie 
that a try.  I'm not sure what all platforms SVGATextMode works on, though.
