Mount a hard drive partition, copy the currently working xorg.conf file
to it, then use it as a template when you reboot from your hard drive
installation.

Hint:  mount /dev/sd-whatever /mnt

Don't actually have an xorg.conf file?  Try making X create one.

Alternatively, copy the xorg log files from the live session to your
hard drive, so you can compare them.
