If your video was fine on the livecd/dvd I would boot the livecd/dvd up and copy the xorg.conf from it to your hard drive install. There is several ways to do this. • Option 1 – Boot up and browse to /etc/X11/ and copy the file xorg.conf to your installed version. You should be able to access your installed version thru /media so it maybe something like /media/mydrive/etc/X11/ Reboot the computer and you should have what you had on the livecd/dvd. Always backup your files, before overwriting. • Option 2 – Boot up and browse to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and use something like http://www.pastebin.ca to paste your xorg.conf file there. Note the URL so when you reboot to your installed version you can access it. Than just rename your existing xorg.conf and make a new one with the one you pasted. • If you still don’t have any luck, we may need to look at your drivers. Try reinstalling your video drivers, but before just reinstalling, make sure you are getting the latest drivers. Nvidia users, make
