	After a change of the VGA adapter (below), and now a switch to
	Wheezy, I’ve found that the issue still exists, for /both/
	-depth 24 and -depth 16.

	Specifically, darker shades of gray (e. g., #201b1a, #332b29)
	seem to turn into bright green and yellow (respectively) with
	-depth 16, after VTs have been switched.

	Surprisingly, however, I’ve just seen the issue appearing right
	after the X server is started with -depth 24, and was /fixed/ as
	soon the VTs were switched.

	Any ideas on what might’ve going wrong here?

	TIA.
