i got what's below the line of x's from a google search. it implies that the
problem is simply one of having a non default background in the console.
given that the solution that permits a non-default color involves way more
fuss and bother than the end you're trying to achieve, try setting the
console to defaults like xterm or whatever.

This removes the explicit black text color that a lot of things were
being set to. This is a problem for those of us who prefer white text
on a black display.
