Happens on mine, too. This is the furthest this problem has ever gotten
as far as I know:

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-ibmnws/2009/11/21/msg000012.html

I tried compiling a custom kernel with different colors set in it, to
zero effect.

Another problem I can into is that ISA devices only seem to be able to
sustain 1 byte/second throughput... which made audio useless, and the
parallel port (I mostly used mine to drive a dot-matrix printer)
functional but painful.
