Comment 210 for bug 129910

I think it's not good to mix the framebuffer drivers, my tty work great in gutsy, and it's not related to nvidia (should work with any CGU)

1. comment the "blacklist vesafb" (but leave uncommented every others) line in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer
2. add "fbcon" and "vesafb" in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
3. add the vga=xxx in your boot list, and i find the font prettier than in the nvidiafb (looks like debian Oo )

Finally "sudo update-initramfs -k all -u" to apply ...

This should work , and mplayer runs smooth in this (works for me :) )
