Title:
  Cannot boot but login prompt only, NVIDIA AMD64

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  After fresh installation of 10.04 then changed the graphics to the recommended driver (nvidia-current), then changed the appearance preference "normal" visual effect. I cannot get the GDM on booting but stop on login prompt. So I have to enter the user name and password then startx.
  After googling I found I have to blacklist the vga16fb in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

  Now.. it can go directly to GDM, but the booting process always
  "blinking cursor, then appear login prompt but fast, then a normal GDM
  login", which is different from the the original (the first time).

  I have been waiting any update can fix this problem, but until today
  still the same.. if i remove vga16fb from the blacklist, the booting
  will stop in login prompt, now I decided to report this.

  I have another machine AMD64 also NVIDIA but different series, also
  behave exactly the same, I need to blacklist vga16fb.

  Thanks
