Ugh. You have the vga16, vesa, and NVIDIA framebuffer drivers enabled. The NVIDIA driver might not work with your card. The VESA will so you should only enable that. Also you enabled both VGA console and frmaebuffer console. Please only enable framebuffer console.

vga=791 will not work for the rivafb driver. That is vesafb specific. You need to use modedb. See linux/Documentation/fb/modedb.txt.
P.S
I think the modedb code is broken for the NVIDIA driver. I haven't got
around to fixing that.

Strange. I will see if I can duplicate this bug. Is the bug at boot time or is it present all the time?

All the time.
Everything looks fine at the beginning, but running i.e. 'top' causes the console is unreadable. I can make it readable for a while with simple switch between consoles.
I don't know if I described it ok - the best would be short *.avi of that, but I don't have any camera...
