I see you have your default depth set correctly for your color. I guess. 
You have it at 24.

Is that what you're using in MacOS. The fbdev has to use the setting you 
were using before bootstrapping into the kernel.
If you were using thousands of colors, that default depth should be 15, 
( 16 gives funky colors). Or 24 with millions of colors in MacOs.

These are the two most common set up problems with a Mac. Check out 
people.debian.org/~cts for further help.
