Sorry, I should have explained how to find it. When you run Ubuntu from 
the CD, go to the "Places" menu and select the partition where you have 
installed Ubuntu, it is named something like "40 GB Filesystem" . It 
should open with the file manager. Double click the "var" folder and 
then the "log" folder. In that folder you should find the file 
"Xorg.0.log" at the bottom of the page.

However if that's how you tried to find the file and you can't find it, 
I have no idea why it wasn't written or what to check next.
