Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Hi,
I am experiencing problems with switching to tty1-6 on my laptop and desktop 
machine.
[I added a description of my issue to this bug: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/119585
Brian Murray, however, asked me to create a new bug-report because he thinks 
it's a different issue.
So here it is.]
-- c&p --
I have several machines running gutsy with latest updates.
Among others, one laptop and one desktop that is connected to a 19" LCD TFT.

*Both* of them cannot display the Command Line Interface on tty1-6. The laptop 
then dies with very ugly stripes until I get it back to STRG+ALT+F7. The TFT on 
my desk just goes blank.
The desktop expects a password (for hdd decryption) at boottime. You see this 
sucks since I cannot tell when it's ready to take the password.
This furthermore is a problem if you need to get some command executed on 
tty1-6. (Or you want to use the Recovery Console. I didn't check if that fails 
to, but I guess it does.)

In my opinion this definitely needs to be fixed.
(If you search the bug tracker here for the terms "gutsy" and "lcd" you get a 
whole bunch of bugreports. I chose this to report my bug to but I may have 
taken another.)
(These are the files of the desktop which I have upgraded to gutsy. The laptop 
had a fresh install with Tribe 5 and was upgraded to the latest available 
version.)

The Desktop has the following graphics-hardware: 
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600 GT (rev a1)
Running with nvidia-glx-new.

The laptop has a ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M, running the standard-driver. (I
could install fglrx or do anything you need me to do to help fixing this
bug.)

I still want to help getting this fixed as soon as possible. So if you
need anything, let me know.

regards
