Comment(by tvoverbeek):

 Wanted to report the same defect, but Tomeu beat me to it.

 Some more information. The writing of xorg.conf is done in
 /etc/rc.d/init.d/livesys
 and /etc/rc.d/init.d/livesys-late (Soas-200903051021).
 The creation of /.livesys-configured and /.livesys-late-configured
 prevents
 the re-execution when the same SoaS stick is booted on a different
 computer.

 For QEMU no specific xorg.conf is needed. At least for me the auto
 detection
 by the X-server works fine when running under QEMU for Windows. It
 recognizes
 the cirrus card and starts Sugar. So maybe the QEMU specific xorg.conf can
 be removed.

 Anyway, the livesys and livesys-late scripts should be reviewed carefully
 for
 the use case of using the same stick booting on various computers with
 different
 hardware. Currently the scripts inplicitly assumes they are always booting
 on the same computer.
