For a long time, I have had messed up colors when I use rivafb.
In the past, just the penguin logo has been obviously messed up
(all purple).  Now, all the colors are off.  By running
"fbset -a 1600x1200-76" I am able to get the framebuffer colors
correctly set.  Also, running this command gives me the 
desired refresh rate.  I suspect I am using an incorrect
boot parameter value.  Can someone tell me what value to use
to get 1600x1200 @ 76Hz and 16-bit color?

My append= line includes "video=riva:1600x1200-16"

Modedb doesn't have a 1600x1200 76 Hz mode, but it does have 75 Hz.
Please try `1600x1200@75-16' instead.
