I can't boot the live DVD with KDE 64bits on a Sony Vaio CW with NVIDIA 230M.
The compatibility mode isn't enough.
Can anyone help here?

Re: NVIDIA GeForce 230M
At the stage where the Live CD says "Automatic boot in 10 seconds", press any button to reveal a menu of options. Then press "Tab" (or "e", I keep on forgetting which one it is 
) to edit the boot options...add nomodeset to the end of the line that starts with "linux", e.g.
menuentry "Linux Mint 9, 2.6.32-24-generic (/dev/sda5)" --class linuxmint --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
recordfail
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,5)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 29ccec09-6bd9-4faa-a719-6dfc14306ae4
linux /vmlinuz-2.6.32-24-generic root=UUID=d0e9c88d-cfb5-4d93-aad2-7c9ef23f602c ro quiet splash nomodeset
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.32-24-generic
}
Then boot from that custom command by pressing CTRL + X.

Yes, thank you.
I just found this workaround and works for me.
