an update on my earlier bug report.

this time the background was more greenish, and the forground text on the
screen was still readable.  since i'm doing a kernel build, i didn't reboot. 
as the saver was kicking in again after it messed the screen, it went normal,
then faded.  so far it hasn't happened again, but no doubt it will.

still haven't checked the syscons code, will after the build.  i've never had
problems with the adapter before [Packard-Bell, HT216-32 Video].  Either the
palette/dac is messed, or the pre-fade saved values are getting messed with.

i repeat, a reboot IS NOT NEEDED.
