Strange things happen in Gutsy world ... ;-)

All the following operations have been done using Gutsy Install LiveCd :
- boot on cd => bad video as "usual" when session opens.
- ctl-alt-F1 : "standard" video in 640*480 mode
- sudo -s -H to stay in sudo mode (otherwise, most operations are refused ... except adding sudo of course)
- make a mount point in /media to mount a partition on which I can save files
- save in CD1 directory xorg.conf and its log
- stop gdm : OK
- look at xorg.conf : "ati" was there : OK
- starx : erreur, server is already active for display 0 ...
- (probably ctl-C to kill the command ?)
- remove file like /tmp/.X0.lock (I don't remember the exact name)
- startx : graphic start with message like "you are running in root mode, continue ?" Yes, of course.
From that point the session was OK in graphic mode and I copied current xorg.conf and logs in CD2 directory.
