i get a similar problem on my thinkpad x31. though my virtual terminals are coloured and blocky/stripy. removing quiet splash fixes them for me.
is there any more debug info i can send ** Attachment added: "lspci.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16608877/lspci.log -- [Intrepid] Virtual terminals don't work unless "quiet splash" is removed in menu.lst https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253243 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
