Could you attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log from the failed live session please? The easiest way to do this might be to copy the log file to a USB thumb drive (if you have one). To do this:
1. Boot live CD without thumb drive. 2. Once booted and at the command line shown above, run "tail -f /var/log/kern.log" 3. Insert USB thumb drive and watch the kernel messages to determine the device node allocated for your thumb drive (will look something like "/dev/sde1") 4. Press CTRL+C to interrupt tail. 5. Type "mkdir /mnt/usbdrive" 6. Type "mount /dev/sdxx /mnt/usbdrive", where "/dev/sdxx" is the device node determined in step 3. 7. Type "cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log /mnt/usbdrive" to copy the Xorg log file to your thumb drive. You can now use a working live CD or installed system to upload the log file here. This should give us an idea why Xorg is failing to start.
