** Description changed:

  affected machine: Pentium 4 with GPU NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600
  NVIDIA driver version: 173.14.16
  VBIOS Version: 04.31.20.40.00
  Bus Type: AGP 8X
  
  Ubuntu version: 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope)
  
  After initial installation of the ubuntu everything was OK (except that
  there no advanced XServer features are available). Afterwards I
  activated the proprietary accelerated NVIDIA Xserver (marked as
  "recommended") . It started to work without any complaints. However the
  text console became an unusable mixture of colors and text:
  
  Most of the screen area covered by a colour rectangle hiding most of
  eventual text. The login/password prompt shown twice: in the upper left
  corner and in the lower right corner. Practically unusable. Each of the
  6 text consoles (accessible by Ctrl-Alt-F<n>) equally affected.
  
  The problem is the same after every boot of the machine.
  
  In graphical sessions everything looks fine (GoogleEarth works, for
  example).
