Christopher: I no longer have the machine that this was caused on, so I can't try to reproduce it again. Due to the obsolescence of the hardware it would be fruitless to keep trying to fix this bug.

I have also tested other monitors, with the same results. This occurs when: 1)I am booting and am at grub2. 2)Ubuntu is booting after Linux has initialized, but before the X window system or LightDM have loaded. 3)I attempt to access one of the linux real terminals with [CTRL]+[ALT]+[F1-F6] ([F7] returns to X window system) 4)For a second after logoff, until the logon screen displays normally. Note:This appears to happen with all of the Nvidia driver versions, and nouveau. This bug should get some importance as if bootup fails, it is next-to-impossible to diagnose it without seeing the terminal. I have seen this starting with Natty, and continuing with Oneiric. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
