Bug Description

Hi,

yesterday i installed the new Ubuntu 7.10(the bug also exists in the previous ubuntu release)

After installing the nvidia driver(nvidia-glx-new) to enable the nice desktop effect i've got the following problem:

Everytime i want to change to a none-graphical TTY(e.g. by pressing STRG + ALT + F1) the screen crashes - the system is still working. so i can login on TTY1 but i don't see anything. Pressing STRG + ALT + F7 for the graphical environment "refreshes" the screen and i can work again ;)

I'm running a SONY VAIO VGN-S4M/S and have a Geforce Go 6200.

i hope you can help - i love my TTY's ;) and sorry for my bad english

my steps:
1. install nvidia-glx-new driver with Synaptic
2. restart system
3. press STRG + ALT + F1
4. screen crashes, can't see the console
5. press STRG + ALT + F7
6. screen "refreshes" and work goes on
