Hi,
Just wanted to confirm this bug on Ubuntu 8.04

I used to have the same problem on my computer (ATI Radeon 9250 card, using the open source drivers): funky splash colors on shutdown + very dark colors in the console modes.
However, I had a vga=791 in my menu.lst, so I removed it.
Now everything is fine, no more funky colors at shutdown and the consloe colors are ok.

So here are my conclusions:
1) There are 2 problems which seem to have the same cause: funky splash colors on shutdown + very dark colors in the console modes.
2) Removing any "vga=" statement from menu.lst solves the problem.

@Saïvann Carignan: I hope this helps :)

Btw - some more details about my machine:
 kernel = 2.6.24-16-generic
 distribution = Kiwi Linux 8.04, based on Ubuntu 8.04
+ I attached the output of "lspci -vvnn"
