I again ran the natty beta2 live CD but this time I used F6 from the initial live CD boot menu and edited the boot string to include nomodeset
as it happens, I also chose to mark nomodeset in the F6 options, and I also removed quiet splash from the string also, if it makes any difference I don't know. However, the Live CD then booted and displayed OK and ran ok in what looked like classic gnome, without display corruption.
