Bug Description
When I ctrl+alt+F1-6 to any tty, the machine freezes and gives me a very colorful screen! This also happens when I reboot or shutdown the machine"
I'm running Ubuntu Feisty
Linux kernel 2.6.20-13-generic
Xorg version 7.2
Nvidia GeForce Go 6200 with the latest Ubuntu driver 1.0-9755
I have the latest BIOS version R0092V0 for my laptop Sony VAIO S3XP
I have tested with Edgy 6.10 kernel 2.6.17 ... same problem.
I have tried without "quiet splash vga=xxx" options in Grub config with no success. I have also tried with option "vga=normal" ... same problem.
This is a very annoying problem!

Does it actually freeze when you switch to a tty, if it's the problem I am thinking of you can still ctrl+alt+f7 back into the gdm. This is a pretty common problem dealing with usplash (see bug #63558). I won't mark it a duplicate just yet but please check it out and let me know if it's related.
