Alexk, if you have a CD burner you can just make a Live CD for Ubuntu
Intrepid Beta 1, then try to boot it. You don't need to install it (thus
no need to make some space on your hardrive, etc...

Just boot the Live CD, mait till you get a garbled screen, possibly take
a picture with a portable phone or similar, then CTRL-ALT-F2 to a
console (black screen with only text, a bit like DOS).

You will have to mount a partition or (safer) a usbkey. With a USB key, just 
insert the key, wait a few seconds, then type :
ls /media/

And you should see something like /media/disk or similar.

Just type:
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /media/disk/
cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log /media/disk

Then:
umount /media/disk
(or just wait a bit)

And reboot with CTRL-ALT-SUPPR, remove the CD and nothing will have
changed on your computer, but your usb key will have the required files
xorg.conf and /Xorg.0.log.

Remember than in the console (text mode) you just need to type the
beginning of the files and directories names, then press TAB (the key
just left of the Q key on a QWERTY keyboard) and the rest can be
autocompleted.
