Fixes the problem of getting a dark text mode console after switching
from X, under systems which have the RIVA TNT 2 chipset (could be other
systems as well, didn't check). More details about the problem was
posted by me in lkml a few days ago.
This patch was tested and it works. The problem could have been sorted
out in another way, but I'm not much of a skilled kernel hacker to find
out how, although I guess it is somewhere in the code that handles the
RIVA TNT 2 chipset.
