Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
On my Nvidia Geforce Go 6100, using the binary blob nvidia driver, the text in the Ctrl Alt F[123456] consoles flicker. By flicker, I mean that the text moves up and down a few pixels multiple times a second. This happens continually, but the exact subsecond spacing of the movement seems to be random. This also happens on the startup splash screen.
