Comment(by stippi):
What is most likely the problem is that you actually have a 16 bpp panel.
Graphics chips can be programmed to subtly dither the output by varying
the pixel brightness forth and back every other refresh. We found this out
last BeGeistert when Rudolf fixed the nvidia driver to turn on this exact
feature. What I am guessing is that when you run in VESA mode, the feature
is automatically turned on through your VESA-BIOS, while when running with
the native intel driver, it is not turned on yet.
