IIRC, in single user mode, this is normal.
Launching a graphic session with startx instead of gdm/kdm doesn't
change anything except that I don't even have any flashing prompt on my

This is an old, old bug (IMO) in the binary nvidia module. I've had
this problem since getting Linux running on my old pentium m laptop with
a 6000 go series chip.
