So... I know i'm rather new to this whole scene, but the issue i'm having is related, though slightly different. Instead of just plain black tty's, my screen cycles through colors. And only when i'm using nvidia-glx-new drivers. When i use the nvidia-glx ones (after i get them working,) I get to keep my tty's, but every time i reboot, the system defaults back to the vesa drivers. Obviously i'd rather get the tty's working on the new drivers. But i do cycle through colors on tty1-6, it goes red-green-blue-white-grey(which is kind of like a bunch of criss-crossed lines,) a darker grey, an even darker grey, then back to black for a while, then goes back through them... i would think this is the same issue, but it is slightly different.
