I think I saw the same thing on my 4/110 when I was fiddleing about
with the cgfour/bwtwo display.  What is probably happening is that the
X server believs that the display is a color cgfour, but, in fact, the
display is really a mono bwtwo.  So the general effect is that of a
screen full of pixels spaced out a few bytes apart.

It is probably a board setup issue with the frame buffer, or a mmap
problem [i.e. the driver missed the color part of the frame].
