Is there some Live Linux distribution (on CD, DVD or USB), which allow one to use specific xorg.conf file, i.e. specific X11 configuration?

The problem I am trying to solve is to find Linux Live distribution for web browsing which would work well with NEC LCD 22WV monitor. It is supposedly DDCCCI capable, but X.Org X Window System autoconfiguration fails to detect proper modeline, and uses fallback 800x600 screen resolution, instead of preferred screen resolution of 1680x1050.

I guess that something like Remastersys (or its equivalent for other distributions) might be a solution. – Jakub Narębski Mar 27 '10 at 18:24

You can create a customized ubuntu installation on an USB stick. Modding the Gentoo LiveCD sounds more fun though.

Is it possible to generate such customized LiveCD from MS Windows, or other Live distribution? – Jakub Narębski Mar 23 '10 at 11:39

@Jakub The Ubuntu tools needs to be run from an Ubuntu system, but an Ubuntu LiveCD is good enough. Just try out their usb-creator. – honk Mar 23 '10 at 12:24
