Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

In Karmic, I can no longer get a console screen with CTRL-ALT-Fx, eg
CTRL-ALT-F1. The screen changes mode to a black screen filled with
random coloured pixels and (on some consoles) a flashing single-pixel
cursor midway across the screen (pressing ENTER changes the screen
somewhat, so it seems to be a screen resolution problem).

It used to work until quite recently in Karmic and it works in Jaunty
with the same nvidia drivers.

This looks similar to bug #129910. modprobing the modules suggested
there (eg vesafb) doesn't help, though.
