Still giving trouble:
As of 2018-01-31, from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS updated today.
Graphics board: GeForce GT 640/PCIe/SSE2
[ 0.684928] fb0: EFI VGA frame buffer device

[ 21.508049] NVRM: Your system is not currently configured to drive a VGA
console
on the primary VGA device. The NVIDIA Linux graphics driver
requires the use of a text-mode VGA console. Use of other console
drivers including, but not limited to, vesafb, may result in
corruption and stability problems, and is not supported.
That message is also placed in /proc/driver/nvidia/warnings/fbdev
/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0000:01:00.0/information:
Model: GeForce GT 640
IRQ: 29
GPU UUID: GPU-fac5d87e-4fff-7179-bbf6-e1f4348104e5
Video BIOS: 80.07.26.00.40
Bus Type: PCIe
DMA Size: 40 bits
DMA Mask: 0xffffffffff
Bus Location: 0000:01:00.0
Device Minor: 0
So, after all these years, NVidia boards are still not playing well with Ubuntu.
