@ rudy.elgato: Here's the step-by-step procedure... - Boot the live CD. It won't finish booting, and hang before the graphical UI appears. - Press Ctrl-Alt-F1. This will open one of the default 6 text consoles. - You won't need to login (you're already logged in), but sudo works; it just won't ask any password. - sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf - In the section named <Section "Device">, after the line starting with "Identifier", add the line <Driver "vesa"> (without the <> signs). Save and close vim. - stop the dm: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop - restart it: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start
