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.

Thanks
