black screen.
lemmerun my work by you, just to be sure:
made a folder in windows explorer called "config" on USB livedisk
then made a file using notepad called "xconf.org"
and pasted your "code" into it. saved it.
then booted my systems using the boot-stick. black screen!
shame, cause I just cant waite to testdrive this XBMClive.
I am what you would call a linux dumbass, but i think the bolded section should be xorg.conf not xconf.org
give that a shot

remember to save it as an Unix-formatted text file...

thanks! did that! using notepad++
now it errors at:
cannot remove /home/xbmc/.xsession
I'll make a new USB-stick 2nite and add the xorg.conf file in unix format. See if it helps! thanks sofar!

I have noticed that this error occurs when there are errors in your xorg.conf
Looks like for ati we will need specific .IMG - indianolajohn - 2008-09-30 22:47
If we can get someone to make some specific RESTRICTEDDRIVERS_AMD.IMG
that relate specifically to a card or integrated motherboard that would be amazing
RESTRICTEDDRIVERS_AMD.IMG_780g is the one im looking for
RESTRICTEDDRIVERS_AMD.IMG_X1650
or RESTRICTEDDRIVERS_AMD.IMG_x850 would be nice too
but one that works with the 780g would help out a ton of people who bought boards specifically for this build

A bit overkill considering you just need a working xorg.conf for that, don't you think so?
And FYI int's not simply a matter of chipset or videocard, but also what kind of monitor you have connected to it!

I made a brand new xorg.conf and the systems boots just fine now.
Ati mobility X2300 works just fine now.
thanks
man!

Still having problems? Boot with "safe" option, have a look at the unofficial ATI wifi config page and follow these instructions.
