	Afaict, there is no current xorg.conf, period, on the hard drive 
nor on the live medium; whatever is working must be something else.

	That's probably the thought I'm missing. But there are only five /
dev/s-whatever files. Two are scd0-1, both symlinks of size 0; the other 
three are sda, sda1, sda2 -- all size 0.

	Is it going to do any good to mount empty files??

	How do I do that??

	And how will it help? Since none exists, doesn't that mean the 
live media are running GUIs some other way??

	None exist, afaict; certainly not in /etc/X11
