Strange.  We should already be using vesa over nv on amd64/x86.  I'll check it, again, and see what isn't working properly.

Thanks

I've verified the problem exists on my laptop as well (Lenovo Thinkpad Model T61p - Machine Type/Model = 6457/B51 - Intel T7700(2.4GHz) Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 256MB nVIDIA Quadro FX 570M).

There are no livecds any more, so closing.
