Hi,
I upgraded my unstable system from kernel 2.4.25 to 2.6.4.
I still have a couple of minor problems.

turn from white to dark gray, which is very hard to read and all my
virtual consoles are dimmed.
Thanks

For what it's worth, I have this VC problem on my SID box as well. It
started after an apt-get dist-upgrade this weekend. However, before then I
was running the system on 2.6 without this problem so it may not be
related to the kernel. My suspicion is something in the ATI driver with
Xfree86 4.3 is causing it but I have not had the chance to track it down
far enough to make a bug report.
Not much help, but at least your not alone ;). When and if I find a
solution I'll post it to the list.
