Alpha onboard PCI VGA console color issue.

Hello 'alpha' / 'misc'

Alpha console color question.

I got a DS20E 833 uniprocessor Alpha with onboard PCI VGA
( vga0 at pci0 dev 7 function 0 "3D Labs Oxygen GVX1" rev 0x01 )

Running 4.1-GENERIC and have seen this since oBSD 3.8 when I began running 
oBSD on the unit.
(nearly 2 years ago, wow!)

OK my question is:

Is there any one else running OpenBSD on an alpha in VGA console mode with 
wscons,
and have when in multi-user mode, the console running with a blue 
background?
The Blue background is present in all wscons displays.

From MacPPC, and i386, Kernel Messages show up with Blue Background 
highlighting, and the background is black with nominal grey test.
But on alpha, the background is always Blue, and may be triggered to black 
when running some utilities like vi.

However even with the black background, the blue returns. and other 
highlights (bold text) do not appear.

I would like to know in what direction I can look for the background color 
settings when wscons sets up the displays. There may be an update for the 
color palette that can be tested.

Any pointers would help.
