Speaking of >8 colors on atyfb, the 15- and 16-bit colormaps on my Mach64 VT
(Motorola StarMax 3000/160 = pmac 4400 clone) are jacked up, both in the console
and X, 2.2.18 and 2.4.0-pre12.  Tux is in ugly shades of orange, pink and green,
and X (4.0.2, fbdev driver) colors are all over the place, though the background
and text colors in the console are not bad.

Has anyone else seen this?  What should I do to further investigate, or maybe
patch?

Thanks,
