[ubuntu] Xorg.conf video issues with 8.10rc livecd [Archive]

I'm having some issues getting the 8.10 release candidate liveCD to boot up properly. Xorg gives me some funky errors. In fact, when I check the log file, it apparently hasn't configured anything, no monitors, no video cards, mice, etc. When I run 'sudo Xorg -configure' it creates the file, but then says there are no screens detected. I tried changing the driver from "nv" to "nvidia", but no dice. Also, for some reason there are about 15 different monitors in the new xorg.conf.
