I've already answered your question.

It's a driver bug. Fixed in XFree86 CVS on Sun Jul 8 21:21:10 2001 UTC
by Matthieu Herrb. Here is the description of the fix:
"Revert the order in which things are restored in NVDACRestore.
This fixes the text mode dimming problem seen on Net/OpenBSD."
On non-Linux systems some registers were left locked when restoring
the palette, thereby preventing the palette from getting restored.
I don't expect you to be able to work around this without patching
the source. It's a simple patch:
