Bug Description
The nv driver used with the live cd doesn't work on 6800 series cards when acceleration is enabled. Either setting the live cd to use either the nv driver with acceleration disabled or the official nVidia drver should fix this. I don't know how to implent this, but KNOPPIX-based live cds run nv without acceleration correctly.

To run nvidia cards with acceleration, you need the 'nvidia' driver instead of the 'nv'. I think it's marked as restricted, and is why it's not shipped normally. Can someone confirm this?
