One could include in Debian Live a failsafe ( 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failsafe ) videocard and screen by default .

I.e. after trying the videocard and screen, the script could ask : Is the 
screen OK ?. If the answer is no or there is no answer in a certain number 
of seconds, the script could ask : Do you want to use the failsafe option ? 
Yes / No.
