I've had occasional issues with NVidia cards, is there any on-board video card you can use to install, or do you have another card handy?Are you able to plug in a different monitor to get Ubuntu installed?For the hell of it I grabbed the monitor off the games pc and tried the live disk again - this is a hyundai that seems to support pretty much anything you can throw at it up to about 1280x1024 including a few wide screen modes like 1440x900. It also had a problem much to my surprise, displaying the following: "Mode not supported H: 93.0 KHZ, V: 58.5 HZ" The graphics card is an nvidia 7600gs, I'll have a google a sec....hmm seems a few people have had trouble with installing nvidia drivers for it, but not turned anything up with the live cd, perhaps it's something specific to Karmic....ahh here we go: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nv/+bug/487361 ...although I don't get as far as the "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" stage.
Otherwise I'd say your best bet is probably the alternative CD (although IIRC you might be able to use one of the F keys on the Ubuntu Live CD boot menu to select safe video or VESA mode).
