What module(s) do I need to create PixMaps?

I'm obviously missing something, and it's probably something stupid and obvious. I have no idea what else I should be doing before I'm able to create a pixmap. I tried setting a 2d video mode with graphics 640,480..etc, but that makes no odds.

I've commented out all the framework/import stuff to verify that it isn't the problem.

' PIXMAP NO WORKY DEALY

'Framework brl.BlitzGL   ' CHANGE TO IMPORT
'Import brl.linkedlist   ' REMOVE ALL OTHER IMPORTS
'Import brl.standardio   ' REMOVE ALL OTHER IMPORTS
'Import brl.keycodes     ' REMOVE ALL OTHER IMPORTS
'Import brl.system       ' REMOVE ALL OTHER IMPORTS
'Import brl.jpgloader    ' REMOVE ALL OTHER IMPORTS



Global PM:TPixmap


PM.Create(128,128,PF_RGBA8888)
If PM=Null RuntimeError "PIX MAP NO LOADY"

I've tried all four documented pixel formats but it makes no difference.
