Ok, so I got an xorg.conf file working with my G45M mobo with the intel 4500HD graphics. However, when I try to boot from the hard drive, I get the flashing screen. If I boot to safe mode and startx I get a desktop. So whjy isn't my config file being used? I saw in the wiki that it said to create a config folder and put my file in there, which I did.
sudo su
cd /
mkdir config
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /config
Any ideas? By the way, using the intel driver in the device section got it working.

Let me correct myself. Apparently something is foo barred in the live HD install. I decided to re-install, and then edited my xorg.conf file. I rebooted, and my changes were gone. Also when I ls / nothing shows up. Is this not a true HD install? It appears to me that it is nothing more than the CD image booting from a HD instead of a cdrom.

You have probably started X with vesa, thats why its working.
glxinfo | grep rend will say software rasterizer if this is the case.
