Comments/Problems:

Installed debian live 7.0 amd64 kde without any issues really. I am able to log into the desktop, but at some point the screen becomes warped or distorted and I can no longer make anything out. The graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce 6150E. Debian seems to have an issue with the video card and I don't know how to correct it. I can reboot and reload the grub with no problem but then about a minute in is when the screen warps/distorts.

Thanks for your report. It looks like the installation worked fine, so
I'm closing this installation report. The issue you're experiencing
looks like a bug in the kernel and/or on the X side, so you probably
want to report a bug against one of these components, using the
reportbug tool. Going through a separate bug report on the proper
components will make sure all relevant information is attached.

Mraw,
KiBi.
