[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#537421: base: Going to tty1, etc shows gibberish on HP G50 Laptop!

[Deniz Akcal]

Package: base
Severity: normal

Only my laptop experiences this. I've also experienced this when using 
Ubuntu 8.10. When I switch to tty1, if it shows gibberish I need to 
switch back to the GUI then to tty2 or something then to tty1. If I go 
GUI then back to tty1 if I recall correctly it is possible that my 
computer freezes and I need to reboot manually.
