Problem:
When booting the Hardy Live CD in default mode, graphics fail when using an Nvidia Geforce4 440 Go on my Higrade laptop computer. Instead of seeing the expected screens, the screen presented is black with white horizontal 'flecks' across it. There are no error messages. After waiting for 10 minutes there is no change.

Reproduction:
On a laptop featuring the Nvidia Geforce4 440 Go mobile graphics chip, using the Hardy Live CD, select the install or start Ubuntu menu. Wait. You should have the problem above.

Two GeForce4 440 Go users have reproduced this same issue.
