It is an unfortunate side-effect of directly mapping the frame-buffer.
The Mac uses 0 for white and 1 for black and the PC uses the opposite,
so when we let programs go directly to the screen for speed, some
video boards use the color table entry for what they think is black as
the "overscan color".  This probably won't be fixed by the time 2.0
ships since it is video driver specific and right now we don't have
the resources to take on video driver specific problems.
