vesafb console text in dark-grey after loading X

[Marius Groeger]

Hello,

I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 on a T43 and xf86-video-ati git master.

Since a couple of weeks, if I switch back to the text console using 
Ctrl-Alt-Fx or upon terminating the X session, I notice that the text 
is displayed in a very dark grey instrad of the default console text 
grey. It's so dark that it's barely readable. I'm not (consciously) 
using any extra console tricks other than what standard Ubuntu might 
do.

Any clues, anybody?

My xorg.conf Device and Module sections are as follows:

Section "Module"
    Disable "bitmap"
    Disable "ddc"
    Disable "type1"
    Disable "int10"
    Disable "vbe"
    Load    "dbe"
    Load    "dri"
    SubSection "extmod"
        Option "omit xfree86-dga"
    EndSubSection
    Load    "glx"
    Load    "freetype"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "X300"
    Driver      "radeon"
    Option      "AccelMethod"           "XAA"    
    Option      "GARTSize"  "64"
    Option      "ColorTiling"  "on"
    Option      "DynamicClocks"  "on"
    Option      "FBTexPercent"  "75"
EndSection
