I noticed the blue border surrounding the terminals when I tested for an 
  Intel 815 card. (Rawhide).

To me, this sounds like the screen driver that is responsible for the 
virtual terminal and not the driver for X. (Probably wrong though)

You probably should find out your video card using /sbin/lspci and 
checking bugzilla for the blue border problem.

At least the computer shuts down, though barely readable display is not 
a nice feature.

I had the blue border on a CRT monitor. With your washed out screen, it 
sounds like you are using an LCD display.
