Ixthusdan Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 In a console, su to root. type "mc" This launches Midnight Commander, an easy to use file manager/editor. Navigate to /etc/X11/xorg.conf Hit F4 Ater your edits, hit F2 Then Hit F10 twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zibi1981 Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 (edited) I'm using another, more comfortable method, in my opinion. 1. Log in in a console as a root user. 2. Type kwrite /etc/X11/xorg.conf 3. Edit Your xorg.conf file, and save changes. You can also put a shortcut on Your desktop to Konqueror, which will be started by a root user. The starting command, which I'm using, is konqueror --profile filemanagement. Ofcourse clicking on this shortcut gives me root privileges in Konqueror, so I can edit any file I want.
