I also have this bug, running Jaunty, kernel: 2.6.28-11-generic, x86-64, nvidia driver 180.44 on 2 x GeForce 9400GT. It seems to be Xorg/driver related. If I stop gdm from starting automatically, then the TTYs work fine. When X11 is running, if I try to switch to a TTY (ctrl-alt-f1 etc) I get a blank text-mode screen with a blinking cursor. If I subsequently quit X11, I can see some activity on the TTYs but the displays are garbled.

Problem goes away if I don't use the nvidia driver.
