How can I get TTYs to work with NVIDIA drivers?
First,
fix grub resolution:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Now, locate the line
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
and change it to this changing 1280x800 to the desired resolution:
GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x800
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
Next,
add framebuffer (no, that's not a typo; use echo twice):
echo "echo FRAMEBUFFER=y" | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
finally, update grub and initramfs:
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo update-grub
reboot for the changes to take effect
