Dual monitor possible?

[Ashley Benton]

No I just copied my screen and saved it in my documents, it was the only
thing I could think about. I tried cp xorg.conf xorg.conf-backup-oct4-07 but
the permission is denied. See the terminal screen:
meg at meg-desktop:/etc/X11$ cp xorg.conf xorg.conf-backup-oct4-07
cp: cannot create regular file `xorg.conf-backup-oct4-07': Permission denied
meg at meg-desktop:/etc/X11$ cp xorg.conf xorg.conf-backup-oct4-07
cp: cannot create regular file `xorg.conf-backup-oct4-07': Permission denied
meg at meg-desktop:/etc/X11$
What does it mean by cannot create regular file? do I use sudo in front of
it or is there a problem I can't see? (Between the two commands I went in my
document and change the name of my backup to something else)
Thank you
Megan
