IIRC, in single user mode, this is normal.
Launching a graphic session with startx instead of gdm/kdm doesn't
change anything except that I don't even have any flashing prompt on
my black screen anymore.
This is an old, old bug (IMO) in the binary nvidia module. I've had this
problem since getting Linux running on my old pentium m laptop with a
6000 go series chip.
For example:

and possible fix (seems to be hit or miss):

Bingo !!
That was it, an old bug from nvidia drivers.
The workaround that worked for me :
Append the line :
options nvidia NVreg_UseVBios=0
to the file /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-nkc.conf
A big thank you to Justin and everyone who helped.
Good that you got it solved. Except I don't understand when the problem
started. You must have run at one time w/o black screens. And then they
started.
