Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

After fresh installation of 10.04 then changed the graphics to the recommended driver (nvidia-current), then changed the appearance preference "normal" visual effect. I cannot get the GDM on booting but stop on login prompt. So I have to enter the user name and password then startx.
After googling I found I have to blacklist the vga16fb in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Now.. it can go directly to GDM, but the booting process always "blinking cursor, then appear login prompt but fast, then a normal GDM login", which is different from the the original (the first time).

I have been waiting any update can fix this problem, but until today still the same.. if i remove vga16fb from the blacklist, the booting will stop in login prompt, now I decided to report this.

I have another machine AMD64 also NVIDIA but different series, also behave exactly the same, I need to blacklist vga16fb.

Thanks
