Joe Niski, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Lucid reaches EOL on May 9, 2013. Please see this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
We were wondering if this is still an issue in a supported release? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Thank you for your understanding.

With a clean install of Lucid and the Nvidia binary driver from the distribution (Hardware Info says "version current"), text is completely unreadable in virtual terminals - i looks like randomly-colored blocks. Display in Gnome, with and without Compiz, is fine. The problem also occurs with the version 173 driver.
