On workstations running CentOS 7.9 with Nvidia 510 series driver (510.73.05), using Ctrl-Alt-Fn (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-F4) to switch virtual terminal, would give a usable console login prompt
However, when upgrading to a more recent driver series, when switching virtual terminals gives a blank screen - but if you blindly type in your username/password on one of these virtual terminals, you do get logged in - i.e. the login prompt is there, but not visible
Not sure which series driver this started happening, but it happens at least with 525 series drivers and above
I don’t think the issue is Nvidia hardware specific - I’ve seen this problem with Quadro P4000 and RTX A5000 GPUs
Is this a known issue - or is there something in need to enable with newer drivers to make the virtual terminals visible ?
