I sent it a few times to linux-kernel and at least one to
linux-fbdev-devel, but haven't seen any comments - and this annoying
changing margins colour seems to be still there in 2.6.4 (at least on
tdfxfb).

What happens on `reverse video' (i.e. black on white, like Sun) graphics cards?
In that case the overscan color is white.

Uhm. What is palette entry for this white?
Or, more generally, how to find (palette colour number of) overscan
colour for current console?
Video erase character colour is not proper one as it may be different
even from background colour at the moment of vt switch.
