It took me a while to figure it out, but i got X working after installing the nvidia drivers while using the livecd, then copying my old xorg.conf over. for those using a Nvidia 7000M, attached is a xorg.conf that should make X work in 1280x800, just delete the other stuff you dont need. hope this helps someone :)
