I now found out why my picture looked so dim...
My trusty old CRT was finally broken. ARG!

Ok, but the picture from the console (penguin, messages ...)
is still very blue-ish; however X is perfectly ok with
the accelerated driver, so with the above said by you,
it this what I have to expect?

I understand that console messages on the VGA are not
important for an embedded system when the apps (can)
work correctly.

I just want to avoid everyone asking me
"why does that screen look so blue?" :)

Btw: "fbset -depth 24" and bootargs+="video=mb86290:1024x768-24 at 70"
     apparently have no effect at all...
