Does the textmode function work?

I am wanting to use textmode(-1) to use transparent text but when I set
textmode() to any value I get a protection violation and subsequent program
termination. I am using the 320x200 VGA mode but the other modes produce
the same problem. Am I supposed to set something up before using the
textmode() function? I am not using any special palettes or fonts.
Everything is just plain vanilla.
