Hi, coming late with this issue, i know. Remarked yesterday, that if i shutdown my pc, i won't get the usual screen, where i see all services going down. there is a corrupt screen with blue border and grey inside, the letters are not readable, i just see stripes, i just see, that almost all services are going down correctly due to green color (except one) :-) Roger
I noticed the blue border surrounding the terminals when I tested for an Intel 815 card. (Rawhide).
To me, this sounds like the screen driver that is responsible for the virtual terminal and not the driver for X. (Probably wrong though)
You probably should find out your video card using /sbin/lspci and checking bugzilla for the blue border problem.
At least the computer shuts down, though barely readable display is not a nice feature.
I had the blue border on a CRT monitor. With your washed out screen, it sounds like you are using an LCD display.
