 The workaround/hack in this commit:
 
   http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2015/03/18/msg064063.html
 
 produces a working (i.e. not almost-black-on-black) console display on
 Dell PowerEdge 2850 (Radeon 7000 VE/QY).
 
 The console cursor appears blue instead of white and the Xorg stipple
 background (-retro) has a blue cast to it.  As noted in the commit
 message, red and blue are swapped, so X client colors are on the
 psychedelic side.
