experience some flickering - the upstream developers are still working
on that.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
I can't boot Ubuntu 10.10 on my PC with NVIDIA GeForce GT 240 (PCIe 16x).
Instead login screen I see [attachment DSC00391.JPG].
Ctrl+Alt+Del and SysRq+B don't work.
Why Ubuntu use experimental (nouveau) driver?!? :
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - X.Org X server -- Nouveau display driver
(experimental)
WORKAROUND:
I must install Ubuntu from alternate CD and boot to text mode and uninstall
these packages: nouveau-firmware, xserver-xorg-video-nouveau and install
nvidia-current package.
WORKAROUND: Try boot live cd with "nomodeset" option. It works for me
on GeForce GT 240.
