Thanks for the tip Jean-Sébastien — I didn’t see any mention of bit depth in vt(4), only resolution, but setting the depth that way does indeed work. In 16 bpp, everything looks correct, although it does scroll a bit slower than 8 bpp. In 24 bpp it is in color, but the colors are all wrong. Photos: http://imgur.com/a/fbLmz Not sure why 8 bpp is grayscale, since 4-bit VGA is in color; ideally this would get fixed, since 8 bpp is faster than 16 bpp, but I do at least have a workaround. FWIW Linux on similar hardware chooses 1024x768x16, which displays correctly. I haven’t tried alternate modes in Linux but could if that would help debugging. -Andrew
