I just tried that, however, it did not work, instead running into problems at the same spot in the boot, not allowing xwindows to load. There seems to be a problem with the autoconfiguration of the xwindows.

Then I don't have a clue where to go next. Going the recovery route, running xfix worked for me when X did not work after installing the restricted driver. .
Might have a look at this thread.

I fixed the problem with my install by reinstalling with 7.10 and then upgrading to 8.04. I'm not sure why it worked that way, but it works perfectly since doing it this way.
Here is a good xorg.conf if anyone ever has a similar problem:
# xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
