Hello all,

I'm not exactly sure if the nvidia driver is responsible, but my virtual consoles appear to be completely garbled up (like someone wrote random data to the screen). Virtual console 1 is like that when I enter it; the others are completely black, yet after logging in (blindly), and giving the reset command, the screen starts garbling up as well as I type. It appears like the loaded console font somehow gets overwritten as soon as the nvidia driver is loaded. Any thoughts?

Hello, This is a well known problem with nvidia driver. You meet it only when you use the analog output of Nvidia based graphics boards. If you use such boards with Tvout enabled don't use vga=xxx parameter at boot you won't have bootsplash but your consoles won't be garbled. I've two entries in mu menu.lst, one with Tvout enabled but no vga and the other one with vga but Tvout disabled. A script of mine disables Tvout when vga is present. Michel.
