I have the same problem with a 6600GT and my new 7300GS.  I am using the
DVI port or one LCD and the VGA for a second.  After booting with a
LiveCD, when X tries to load I get diagonal orange stripes across both
screens and nothing else.  I can't use ctrl-alt-f1 to switch to a
console.  I don't think ctrl-alt-backspace worked either but ctrl-alt-
del allows me to reboot.

Since I can't get to a console, getting a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log is
pretty difficult.  I could try safe-mode and then startx but I'm not
sure that would be relevant.

If I unplug one monitor (usually the VGA one), X will load correctly.  I
have feisty installed on the system and used TwinView to enable dual
monitors.  That works well enough.

This happens with both the Feisty LiveCD and the Gutsy Tribe 4 liveCD.
