** Description changed: - Binary package hint: xorg + Binary package hint: openchrome, viafb, vt8623fb + + [Update 2010-02-03: See comments starting with #6. The TTY screen + background is now a magnified image derived from the X screen + background, and text is unreadable. Also I'm not sure this system is + using openchrome.] When I switch to a text console with ctrl-alt-Fn, I get a background screen filled with multicolored random pixels. I am able to log in (despite not being able to see what I'm typing), and can switch back to X with alt-F7, and see the login with 'who'. I believe this system is using a Openchrome driver. This has been happening at least since the Karmic beta release. This system has a Jetway 625EMPxxx or 625EMWxxx motherboard with a VIA chipset.
