[Bug 220951] Re: nvidia-glx-new causes unusable tty's

I can confirm this issue on two machines running Jaunty Jackalope:

1) amd64 laptop: MSI gx620 [NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT 512 MB] (lspci -vvnn attached), and
2) i386 desktop: GIGABYTE 8600GTS 512MB silent pipe

I first noticed the issue on Hardy or Intrepid i386 on the desktop.
Removing the NVIDIA driver fixes the problem. I have not had success
removing quiet/splash from menu.lst.

When I press: CTRL-ALT-F1 the screen goes blank.
When I press: Alt-F7 my gnome desktop returns.

I'm just waiting for a situation where this causes real grief (has not
occurred yet thankfully!).
