Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

Graphics card: nVidia Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300 LE]

Plymouth and all text post grub is totally garbled when ANY Nvidia drivers are enabled (colours seem inverted, text is mangled and letters are drawn backwards), including the version from the repos. With the version from the repos can't start X at all, however with the newer version (271.41) X starts, and can log in to either unity 2d or into ubuntu classic (no effects). If normal unity is started X hangs, mouse is responsive and so is PC, sometimes it partially draws unity, sometimes just the background. Same situation with ubuntu classic (with effects enabled).

Similar experience here on natty beta 2, Geforce 7300 LE, generic-pae kernel. I just used the nvidia driver that jockey-gtk offered, and then you get black and white video garbage during boot, then get half a loaded desktop that is frozen. The mouse moves, and you can ctrl+alt+del to shut it down, during which it gives more garbled text white on black random fonts. Its was the same for alpha 3, beta 1. The experimental 3D Nouveau driver also locks up the desktop. As yet, I have not been able to even see what unity looks like :-(
