[nos-bbs] JNOS Ubuntu 10.04

[aa9vt1]

One of the problems in Ubuntu 10.04 is no TTY's using NAVIDIA drivers. 
Here is information on setting up FRAMEBUFFERS:

This improved a few things but still no tty's. I also followed this 
information and finally got TTY's working:

If the nvidia drivers don’t allow you to have special effects, just try 
this :
blacklist nouveau
blacklist lbm-nouveau
..in the following file :
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
.. then :
update-initramfs -u .. in a terminal.
Download & install normally the nvidia proprietary drivers. Restart the 
X server … and everything should be OK!
