That usually means your Video driver didn't initialize them. The words
are defined as "defer" words, so they don't point to anything useful
until a display driver comes by and initializes them. This allows one
piece of code to be generic and callable from the ok prompt, while to
unsightly innards are buried in the specific video driver that this
system has loaded.
It sounds like your display driver didn't initialize them.
