Nearly perfect :-).  I use the fade saver and when I woke up this morning,
going back from the screen saver turned the VESA console text into blue.
Not the whole text, just the non-brilliant one.  This is not the case on
non-VESA consoles.

Switching to another console suffices to get back the orignal text color.
I didn't tested whether the blue turns into another color if I change the
default text color, but displaying various colors with vim (blue, red,
yellow), it appears that all colors are, at least, darkened.  Note that
as far as I tested, this is not specific to any screensaver, it seems to
be ensued by a generic piece of code.  I tried changing the resolution
and I managed to get another color : instead of blue, I got red :-).
