Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
this is probably a known issue...but xorg chooses wrong resolution on live discs which causes bad graphical issues untill you figure out how to get the resolution lower.....for me it used to be were i could figure it out but it seems now i cant because its really messed up as shown on the jpeg i added
and usually it does the same after installing which really causes problems so it might be good to put it as safe graphics by default.
this one shown on the screenshot is from the 31-Jan-2011 daily live using a cell phone camera
----edit:
for some more info im useing a HP Pavilion dv6605us with a nvidia GeForce 7150M /nForce 630M built-in graphics the max screen resolution is 1280x800 for the screen which is a 15"
----edit2:
it seems nouveau is part of the problem because now no matter the resolution i use i get the same graphical issues and i know that nouveau loads at default when using nvidia till a different driver is loaded for it

i did some checking by doing all of the resolutions i could by adding vga=(whatever resolution) which makes it seem to be more of a driver problem which by what i know the default for the daily live build is nouveau...
