I'm running into the same problem using the ubuntu-8.10-beta-
desktop-i386 and amd64.iso images, so am using the GNOME desktop.
Guessing this 'kdm' workaround should apply as well, only I'd be using
"/etc/init.d/gdm" instead, wouldn't I?

Can you provide more details on this workaround?  Specifically:

- if you are running from a live cd how do you drop to "the console login"?
- what userid do you log in as?
- if you run 'sudo' what root password do you provide?
- when you edit xorg.conf, are you editing a copy that's on the live cd?

Sorry about all the questions.  I'm just not very familiar with what all
takes place when running from a live cd and didn't realize a person is
able to get to a console login, login, run sudo, and edit files while in
a live cd session.  Thanks...
