Yes, the console color map is, but isn't an fbdev app like MOL or
X supposed to restore it's own colormap when switched back in ?

Ok, actually, you weren't talking about console switch. Though I'm pretty
sure MOL at least will properly restore it's colormap, I don't know for
XFree.

So Peter, it seems you have to save/restore it all finally.
