Description: NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver
Yesterday I experimented a little bit and I am quite sure, that the
problem is created by X11/nvidia-drivers/kernel and the kind of the
console is not the problem (read: I am not sure, though).
The bugreport linked from another mail of this thread also reports,
that using an older version of the nvidia-drivers will fix the
problem.
Best regards,
Meino
