Can confirmed a part of the bug:
My TTYs (F1-F7) does not function and display a blank screen with gribberish at
the top (pixels of multiples colors).
I have no other problem.
I try changing the vga and it didnt worked.
Distro: Ubuntu 10.04
uname -a: Linux 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed
I can confirm this with the legacy 96 drivers (MX400 hardware) on 10.04,
none of the above makes TTYs useable, note I also have no
Plymouth/splash during boot or shutdown. With nv everything works as it
should.

I finally solved this problem. Worked on intrepid, worked on Jaunty
In intrepid:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options
add the line:
options nvidia NVreg_UseVBios=0
in Jaunty things have changed, you wont find the options file
create a new .conf file in /etc/modprobe.d/ with just this line as
Using 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope, this did not solve my problem. The only thing
that seems to solve the problem so far is not using the third display
(television in my case).
However, the vga=791 parameter did seem to restore my TTY access, and I
thank you for that.
Note: I'm not sure which

I tested both fixes independently and found that the modprobe
configuration didn't change anything, and the vga
Forgive my multiple posts, it took me a lot less time to do the research
than I had anticipated. I now understand why Usplash was positioned
badly. 791 is for a native resolution of 1024x768 with 16bit colors. My
monitors have a native resolution of 1280x1024. So this number should be
changed
I confirm this bug on a Jaunty Machine running amd64, 2 x nvidia 9400GT
video cards, with bnoth the latest repo restricted drivers, and the
latest binary blob direct from nvidia.
A workaround I found is to force the console into framebuffer mode with
vga=791 (or whatever) as a boot parameter
I can confirm this issue on two machines running Jaunty Jackalope:
1) amd64 laptop: MSI gx620 [NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT 512 MB] (lspci -vvnn
attached), and
2) i386 desktop: GIGABYTE 8600GTS 512MB silent pipe
I first noticed the issue on Hardy or Intrepid i386 on the desktop.

Same problem on a sony vaio S4XP (with a Geforce Go 6200).

I would be happy running nv for a while, but I want 24 bit and the nv
driver also keeps going over-exposed (too bright, its weird)

nvidia-glx-new causes unusable
Just run some updates and put on 2.6.24-18 . no change
However for me nvidia-glx from the repo (rather than nvidia-glx-new) has fixed
things for now
