Image quality with fbi/fbida

Hey everyone, I'm trying doing all my work from the console right now (links2 awesome!) and after a lot of work (with still more to go since I don't have the permissions set up yet for fbi to use as a normal user) I finally got fbi to work... but the image quality isn't as good as I was expecting. I'm not trying to bash fbi here since it's running from the framebuffer but I'm wondering if there's anyway to make the quality better (I'm talking misplaced color and other large displacements). I've looked at man fbi and tried some of the settings there but I just want to know if there's anything I can do to improve quality... if not I can live with it no problem, but it would be nice to know.

Fixed it... apparently the framebuffer uses something from the Xorg.conf (I don't know if that would be the case if I didn't have Xorg installed... actually it isn't my desktop doesn't have Xorg and it worked fine) when you have X installed and I just had to change the driver from radeon to vesa!
