Package: nvidia-kernel-source
Version: 169.12-4

Severity: important
Priority: normal

Hi,

I'm using nvidia driver on a 2.6.25-2 kernel (linux-image-2.6.25-2-686 2.6.25-4) and 
usplash (0.5.19-2).

Somtimes (I seem to be completely unpredictable, about 1/3 of startups), my laptop start 
well, but if I try to switch to console (with Crlt + Alt + fX), characters are unreadable 
on the left of the screen... And when I shutdown it, the screen is full of piece of white 
crap, such as all characters was mixed up and in bad resolution !

It is not a big issue for now, but if I want to restart kdm, I must do it blindly...

There are no others problems, Xorg work well, only console issue.

Hardware details : Sony Vaio SZ3, nvidia GeForce Go 7400 with 256Mb of turbo-cache, Intel 
Core duo 2, Ram 2Gb, ICH7 family plateform (Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS/940GML and 945GT).

Thanks a lot

regards

Mourad
