nVidia GE Force 6200 Turbo Cache video problems

[Ronnie]

Dear All,

I am using Ubuntu 8.10. I recently had to reinstall it. When I did, my
desktop looks like blinking ribbons. I have a nVidia GE Force 6200 Turbo
Cache video card. I can sign in (blind), but if I try to access the
commandline by means of Ctrl-Alt-F3, the console does not scroll, so
once the screen is filled  with text, I cannot see what is happening.
Can someone please help? Although I do have some experience, I am still
new to linux.
