Ubuntu server 10.04 64-bit corrupt console help

[neoideo]

charles,

with your last advice i managed to install the GUI correctly !!! (i might use it for something)
with latest nvidia drivers (256)

however, if i stop gdm and go to server mode console command i still have the corrupt fonts, what could this be?

It's probably something to do with the drivers.

It would probably be easier to deal with if you just leave gdm running and do a Ctrl + Alt + F1/F2/F3/F4/F6 to get a terminal and hit Ctrl + Alt + F7 to get back to the GUI.
