"I get the same here. Running karmic with everything updated as of 12 October. I have been experiencing this bug since I upgraded to linux-image-2.6.31-13-generic.
Versions installed are as follows:
linux-image-2.6.31-13-generic 2.6.31-13.44
usplash 0.5.42
nvidia propietary driver v. 190.36 installed by hand (happened the same with vdpau ppa's version of the same driver)
As a side note, I must note that although the vts are corrupted, a user can login and operate as usual with the only problem that you will not see anything other than the corrupted image."
I am quoting my comment posted in bug #447775.
