There's sometimes an issue with Xorg's automatic driver detection that prevents the live image from booting for some users. The main cause of this is the selection of available drivers for the more popular graphic cards (nVidia mostly). We should at least give the user an option of driver selection while booting (with installation if necessary) before the Xorg launches.
This is going in pair with supplying the older drivers in ticket [#10].

    Closing. KMS has stabilized over the years and creating a mechanism like that is no longer necessary (that, and we don't have the resources to do so).
