It sounds like Executor is not detecting a VBE-compatible video
driver, so it doesn't know how to use SuperVGA modes on your laptop.
If you run "executor -info", it should tell you what kind of video
driver it finds.

If the manufacturer of your laptop can't provide you with a
VBE-compatible video driver, you might try UniVBE.  UniVBE is a
shareware "universal video driver" that works on most video cards.
You can download it from ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/pub/uvbe51a.zip
(that's from memory, and couldb be slightly wrong).

I believe UniVBE is also available on the major on-line service
providers.
