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.
