Comment 11 for bug 569372

Hi, new here, not sure if this has been fixed or not but it seems that I have this same problem. Whenever I try to boot from the live cd, it loads (at least), and shows all the menus and stuff but there is no text and it looks like an old nintendo game that backfires (you know, colors off, random artifacts etc. etc.). I tried booting noapic and acpi=off and a whole slew of other options (everything as mentioned in the posts above)...to no avail. Anyway, I know it has to do with graphics (obviously) and I have an nvidia gtx 280. I've had problems with nvidia in the past, but I've always had a safe graphics mode. Why doesn't this release have one? That's confusing to me as I always had to rely on that in order to install linux anyway. I digress, I'd love it if there were some way to fix the problem I'm having. You guys are great, keep up the good work!
