I also tried booting the 12.10 beta 2 CD on an older dekstop with a nVidia 9600GT video card, but it gives the same scrambled screen. Also the "live-cd" function didn't perform any better.

I cannot read anything. After about 10 minutes I get console output on the upper left of my screen, this tells me that nouveau cannot find a "native mode". Running the "live" version gives me the same output. After a while however I get the message that the system is running on low-graphics mode. But I cannot seem to "fix" the modes myself. I'm running the AMD64 bits version (not for Mac). I've got a nVidia Geforce GTX560 installed in my system. The systems runs without any problems in the 64-bits 12.04 version using the nVidia-drivers (didn't test the nouveau-drivers). If you need any additional info (or "photos" of the screen while booting), please let me know.
