Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 12.04 release version, 32 bit PAE kernel.
When the recommended additional driver is installed (nVidia Geforce 7300 LE) is
activated unity 3d works fine. But if you press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to go to a console,
then you get a blank black screen.
Exiting back to graphics using Ctrl+Alt+F7, gives a corrupt screen, and when
you move the mouse the PC hard locks. No key combination will work at all. Just
press and hold the power button :-(
Also during boot up, after the same blank black screen as with the
nouveau driver appears, then after that you see a couple of seconds of
random white blocky lines with corrupted text characters (error messages
maybe).
