create xorg.conf using Ubuntu Live

hi

Howto create xorg.conf using Ubuntu 10.04 Live?

I found these directions for creating an xorg.conf -

1. Boot from the live CD, then select 'Try Ubuntu'.
2. Switch to a terminal - ctl-alt-F1.
3. Log in using a user-ID that can do 'sudo'.
4. Stop the desktop manager -
   Code:

   ---

   sudo service gdm stop

   ---

5. Create a config file -
   Code:

   ---

   sudo Xorg -configure

   ---

   If you do an 'ls ~ -l', the generated file should show up. You might want to copy it to a thumb-drive at this point.
6. Start gdm -
   Code:

   ---

   sudo service gdm start

   ---

   This should send you back to the screen which gives you the option to try or install Ubuntu.

You should find the file 'xorg.conf.new' in your home directory.

I have tried it using a USB drive, not a live CD. However, it's worth trying. The generated xorg.conf.new may not exactly match your hardware configuration, but should at least give you a good starting point.
