The Sony VAIO PCG-F540 has a video card from NeoMagic (MagicMedia

if the display works fine on 12.04 live CD without any additional
parameter then you probably need to open a bug report against
xserver-xorg-video-neomagic. I had a look to Launchpad and the bugs I
found are listed here:

But I didn't see nothing about wrong colors, just banding issues due
to the lack of dithering on drivers.
And Aere, did you try with a Lubuntu 12.04 live CD to see if the color
are right? As far as I remember LXLE is focused to strongly support
old chipsets too. Perhaps they are using some additional settings or
different drivers.
Federico:
Thanks for the information. I will be pursuing it further, as you
suggested.
For now, the data-sheet I have on the machine, describes its graphics as
follows:
NeoMagic MagicMedia 256AV+ with 3.0 MB SGRAM. 128-bit accelerator and
MPEG playback acceleration.
The first link you supplied indicates something I think matches:
MagicGraph 256AV+ (NM2230)
I no longer have the Lubuntu 12.04 live CD because that system is no longer
supported (and you
probably can't download it anymore, though I didn't try).
I used the LXLE version of Lubuntu 12.04 because it is still supported.
I plan to submit a bug documenting the problem.
