2) Source package bug found in:
jockey-gtk (suspected, see description below)
3) Version of the package:
0.3.2-0ubuntu1
4) Bug description:
The "Hardware Drivers" Tool (obviously jockey-gtk) installs nvidia-glx-new for newer Nvidia graphic cards (tested with gf7600gs-agp and gf7900gs-pcie). Unfortunately recent Nvidia drivers suffer from a bug which won't let you access the virtual consoles (see http://
Of course compiz/"Visual Effects" work with nvidia-glx, compiz can be started manually or, when jockey-gtk is removed, "Visual Effects" can be enabled in "Appearence Preferences" witout any problem.
I could monitor this bug on two different systems with fresh installations of Ubuntu 8.04 Alpa 6 even with latest updates.
This is primarily a bug in the nvidia driver itself. (BTW, I'm also using nvidia-glx-new, and virtual consoles work just fine for me on latest hardy).
