[ubuntu-uk] (no subject)

[Matthew Saunders]

Either:

Open the Text Editor (Applications/Accessories/Text Editor)
Click file / open.
Select of the left, File System.  Then on the right navigate to etc,
and then to X11.
Find xorg.conf in the list.  Select it and click open.

OR:

Open a terminal (Applications/Accessories/Terminal)

Type:

pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf



Some people don't like the 'command line' so I have included both ways.
