I usually install Fedora with the standard Nouveau driver and Ubuntu 
with it's video driver -  get the whole system functioning then install 
nvidia if and when required.
That process has never failed me.

If I boot in runlevel3, and I enter TTY2 before login,  the screen will flash between tty1 and tty2, or stick in tty2(cannot switch to other TTYs). I don't know it is a hardware problem or software problem.
