Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-new
On a Toshiba Tecra M9 with an Nvidia Quadro NVM130M, when I use the
restricted drivers all ttys go completely black without blinking cursor
or anything. The ttys are still responsive, but don't show anything.
Using the open source driver (with the xorg.conf you get by running
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg) works. Just adding Driver = "nvidia" to
the device's section yields the behaviour.
This is on hardy.
On gutsy, I was seeing a similar issue which could be fixed by making sure
fbcon and vesafb were loaded during boot.
I've tried removing all vga=* and splash from kernel boot options, vga=normal,
and vga=71. I've tried to get older nvidia drivers to work (without success)
and the beta 173.08 without betterment.
I'm referencing nvidia-glx-new because of reports that using nvidia-glx
solves the issue (which I can't seem to be able to do).
