When I ctrl+alt+F1-6 to any tty, the machine freezes and gives me a very
colorful screen! This also happens when I reboot or shutdown the
machine"

I'm running Ubuntu Feisty
Linux kernel 2.6.20-13-generic
Xorg version 7.2
Nvidia GeForce Go 6200 with the latest Ubuntu driver 1.0-9755
I have the latest BIOS version R0092V0 for my laptop Sony VAIO S3XP

I have tested with Edgy 6.10 kernel 2.6.17 ... same problem.
I have tried without "quiet splash vga=xxx" options in Grub config with no success. I have also tried with option "vga=normal" ... same problem.

This is a very annoying problem!
