[Bug 292355] [NEW] [GeForce 7600 GS] (Dell 2007FP) no display when using kubuntu [live] cd

I just tried both the Ubuntu-8.10 and Kubuntu-8.10 desktop installation
CDs. Ubuntu started up fine but with a wrong resolution (My display is a
Dell 2007FP with a native resolution of 1600x1200 but Ubuntu chose
1024x768) but Kubuntu produced just some garbage on the screen when
starting up (see attached picture). From the color patellte of the
garbage it looks like there are some remaining (brown :-)) bits and
bytes from Ubuntu left in the graphics card

Here is the output of lspci on my system:

-------------------

If I switch to a text console and back, e.g. by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 and
Alt+F7, the garbage is gone and I see the KDE desktop. But this is
something I really found out by try-and-error and is nothing a "normal"
user would do.
