Linux-Alpha: Strange colours on VGA console

Hello to all,

I've recently bought an AlphaStation 250 4/266 and am running Kernel
2.1.127-pre2 at the moment. As the machine came with an 8 plane TGA
video adapter only, I decided to throw in a ATI Video Charger (PCI) as a
secondary adapter. Works fine on X, despite that I haven't yet found out
how to get rid of TGA, but that's another story.

Now the problem is, that the colours on the VGA text console look *very*
weired. I've got a blue background and green text that sometimes changes
to grey when I switch between the consoles. Endianess problems?

Gruss,
Matthias
