unfortunately, the Gusty Tribes 5 live CD fails the same way. When it launches the GUI, the screen becomes garbled and the only thing to do is to reset. In the previous Ubuntu release, adding the line below in Xorg.conf, fixed the problem . Doing "man nv" in a shell shows what the parameter is used for.

line to add in xorg.conf in the "nv" driver section to make Geforce 6600 work properly;
 Option "CrtcNumber" "0"

Thank Timo for looking into this.
