TTY gets corrupted after latest updates in Karmic

[skybon]

My TTY screen gets corrupted every time I install latest updates from clean Beta 1 install. Instead of console I just see multi-colored garbage. The console itself works properly (managed to check it via "service gdm stop"), only the display is broken.

The same happens to me, i hope they fix it soon, because there isn't much time left.

The problem is fixed with today's updates.

Im on the prerelease testing upgrade path from 09-04-> karmic and this
got broken for me during an upgrade.

I was just able to resolve this issue by going to ubuntu menu -> system
-> administration -> hardware drivers
and selecting the newest Nvidia hardware driver for my vidcard.

I also did the usual aptitude update; aptitude upgrade

after I rebooted, it looks ok now.

This doesnt solve the automatic update problem tho - is there any way to
force the hardware driver to a newer
version at aptitude update time, or is that a user- or manual-
config-only option?

New installs of Karmic, presumably, wont have this issue - ?
