  black screen (no more gdm/X server) with nvidia propriatery after
  gfxpayload=keep activation

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  since grub 1.99~2010112-0ubuntu1, with nvidia proprietary driver, I
  can't get a working X/gdm, just a black screen after plymouth is
  shown. Colin pointed me to the framebuffer spec and I saw that
  gfxpayload=keep is activated. I remember having issues with it in
  maverick already, and see not anymore this pb once this option is
  disabled.

  how can I help getting the relevant info to you?
