Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: usplash

When working in a virtual terminal on my laptop running Ubuntu 9.04 with
GNOME, the terminal won't display any bright colors. (I've noticed this
issue when using terminal applications such as Midnight Commander, Nano,
and Bash.

Using setterm to change the settings doesn't help. Any GUI programs are
displayed normally though. I also don't have this issue on my desktop
computer which also runs Ubuntu 9.04.) This issue doesn't occur when the
GDM daemon isn't started while booting or when the boot splash screen
has been disabled by removing the "splash" boot option. Adding the
"vga=xxx" boot option fixes the terminal problem but causes a black
screen to appear while a splash screen or boot process information
should be displayed. Hardware information:

-lspci displays the following about my video card: "01:00.0 VGA compatible 
controller: ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Mobility Radeon X300]"
-Laptop: Dell Inspiron 6000.

Software information:
Ubuntu 9.04 with GNOME - kernel version 2.6.28-13-generic
